पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

The Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science provides a rigorous, sharply focused disciplinary program with strong multidisciplinary links. The program consists of innovative, state-of-the-science graduate education in political methodology and the fields of Decision Making and Public Management, Democratization, Globalization and International Relations, and Political and Government Institutions and Processes. Students’ research skill development and degree completion are facilitated by a rolling cohort design. In the first year of the cohort, students acquire basic research skills and tools and work on research projects. Later, they have opportunities to develop their instructional and presentation skills, to participate in summer methodology programs, and to interact with highly regarded scholars and practitioners in their fields of study. Students will engage in critical and constructive thinking, effective communication to academic audiences, and rigorous design and execution of research projects. Students will describe, classify, and analyze the causes and consequences of the unprecedented unfolding of democracy on a global scale, its successes and failures, and its opportunities and problems during an era of globalization and of ongoing sub national, national, and transnational conflicts and negotiations. They will describe, classify, and analyze the major theories, methods, and findings that are used to explain the participation of individuals in a variety of institutional settings, how institutions can be designed to promote both collective goods and individual gains, and how changes in institutions have consequences for individuals. Students will describe and explain the theories, models and practices of group activity, human decision making, management science, organizational design, policy making, and risk assessment involving knowledge producers, private firms, and government agencies and departments. Students will acquire the professional socialization necessary to teach and to conduct research in American, comparative, or international government and politics; democratization, globalization and international relations; governmental and political institutions and processes; and public administration, decision making, and risk management.
