Course Description

Scope and Objectives

Analytically, the content of this course concerns communism and its aftermath.  Substantially, the focus falls primarily on East European states, although excurses on political developments in Russia are also necessary to our enterprise.  Russia’s role in the region represents one important instance of a theme running through the entire course; namely, that East European politics has been and remains in many ways determined by forces outside the region itself.  We explore this question as it relates to the hegemony exercised by West European states in both the pre- and post-communist periods, as well as the USSR’s dominion over them in communist times.  With respect to the latter, our objective is to build an understanding of the communist past, what is, here, taken to be a unique socio‑political formation known as "state socialism". This objective can be broken down further into a number of sub‑topics that comprise the first part of the course: Marxist revolutionary theory, Leninist revolutionary practice, Stalinist state construction and the maturation and decay of state socialist systems. The problem of the political role of intellectuals within the specific historical contexts peculiar to East Europe and Russia is singled out for special attention in this regard.

The second part of the course focuses on reforms within, and revolts against, the state socialist order that have occurred in East Europe and the former Soviet Union. On the basis of the analysis presented in the first part, it locates a number of crisis tendencies specific to state socialist systems that have led to movements for reform and revolution and examines how new directions taken in one place and time often have reverberated later in the politics of other states within the region. Moreover, the specific incidences of mass resistance to state socialism modified it in one place or another, lending different characters to state socialist regimes that would determine the particular paths of transition that they would follow.

Part three concerns the collapse of communism in East Europe and the former USSR. The significance of that moment has only begun to be measured in historical terms, yet its implications are already staggering enough: the unhinging of the capitalist/communist dichotomy that had dominated politics, nationally and globally, for the second half of the twentieth century, thus throwing into question established identities, arrangements and alliances. The collapse of one system and the formation of another allows us to glimpse the political magma, usually obscured, assumed or unremarked in the study (and practice) of "normal" politics. Therefore, we devote particular attention in this section to social, cultural and economic issues, exploring the ways in which they have shaped the politics of post­communist transitions.

The final section examines a set of major political issues confronting the post‑communist states of Eastern Europe, a list that includes: an incongruity between the formal structures of government and politics, on one hand, and the form and character of social relations on the other; the introduction of disciplinary practices associated with capitalism and their reception and/or modification; and the appearance of new forms of sociability and the fashioning of new selves.  Finally, how does the hegemony of states outside the region express itself in the present period? 

Course Requirements

In addition to meeting standard expectations—attending lectures, completing all reading assignments prior to the respective class and discussion sessions at which they are to be considered, sitting for two examinations (a mid‑term and a final)—each student is required to write an extended term paper (10‑12 pages in length) on a topic selected by the student and approved by the instructor.

142. Russian Politics

Instructor: Michael Urban
Phone: 831-459-3153
E-mail: urban47@cats.ucsc.edu
Teaching Assistant: Zachary Bowden

Course Content and Objectives

This course concerns a young nation-state that has emerged from a very old culture and civilization—Russia.  Accordingly, the approach taken here includes the study of past patterns of political practices and state organization—both tsarist and Soviet—that represent antecedents of, and profound influences upon, Russian politics today.  But the emphasis falls on the present, on the interaction among the country’s political forces whose residues seem slowly to accrete to a recognizable—if not especially stable—governmental/political order. 
           
            The selection of readings for this course follows from this notion of Russia as a place in which (for it) the very new—the institutions of formal, democratic government, a capitalist economy, autonomous social organizations and an independent press—keep close company with the old—social relations and cultural practices that go back a very long way.  Richard Sakwa’s book provides a panoramic view of postcommunist Russian politics and society, focusing on new institutions and patterns of political interaction while remaining sensitive in many respects to the influence that older forms seem to exercise on them.  Nancy Ries’s study takes us into the interiors of Russians’ lives, detailing through an analysis of conversational practices the ways in which Russians structure their social worlds and formulate scripts for acting within it.  Her work thus complements that of Sakwa, encouraging us to look beyond formal institutions in order to grasp the dynamics of action available to those within them.  Mary McAuley’s short book has been chosen for its merits as a brief introduction to Russia in its Soviet period.  Much of what she observes in that time is represented—often in permutated form—in the readings scheduled for the second half of the course. 

            Course requirements include sitting for two examinations—a mid-term and a final—and writing a term paper (10-12 pages in length) on a topic selected by the student and approved by the instructor.  The paper is due on the final day of class.

160. International Politics.

Instructor: Ronnie Lipschutz

Course Description

This is an upper-division introduction to international politics, broadly defined. It is organized around the notion that the subject of international politics is driven by contemporary issues and problems as seen through both theoretical understandings and practice. Politics is of interest because we are interested in today's events and tomorrow's, as well, and want to be able to understand why things happen. The same is the case at the international/global level. This course will provide the foundation for further coursework and research in international and global politics and the successful student will emerge able to apply the analytical tools acquired during the quarter to a broad range of issues.

200B. Social Forces and Political Change

Instructor:Michael Urban
Office: 273 Stevenson
Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 4-5:15
E-mail: urban47@ucsc.edu
Phone: 459-3153

Course Description

This seminar concerns the transformation of social forces into political ones.  Accordingly, it focuses on the formation, articulation, mobilization and organization of political interests and identities, their mutual interaction and their effects on the structures and practices of states and societies, as well as on the effects of those same structures and practices on them.  The major themes under consideration, here, are (1) the social bases of political action—class, gender, race and other determinants of social division and political identity—and (2) the relevant forms of political agency and action, including the development of political consciousness and the representation of interests and identities in the public sphere. 

This seminar’s center of gravity is the study of social movements.  By definition, they represent a challenge to a given regime: for instance, the peace movement vis-à-vis the war state, the feminist movement vis-à-vis the patrimonial state, or the civil rights movement vis-à-vis the racist state.  As such, social movements interact (positively and negatively) with a number of institutions on the political field, including political parties, interest groups and state agencies.  By definition, they engage in contentious politics.  This aspect of social movements—as well as the variety of social movements present in the contemporary world—has led observers to characterize them in different ways.  Whereas some would regard them as expressing the interests of those (as yet) un-rationalized segments of modern society, others portray them as social mirrors held up for our inspection, or as society’s principal mechanism for internal and external adaptation. 

These disparate characterizations reflect something of the heterogeneity and indeterminacy that belong to the phenomena of social movements themselves.  They encompass a broad range of political practices, including, at one end of the spectrum, the action of semi-state bodies and, at the other, amorphous cultural tendencies often sustained by, at most, weakly articulated organizational structures.  In addition, then, to their presence on the political field, social movements also operate on the terrain of civil society, frequently mediating those changes in cultural practice whose impact on politics and the state are profound, even while the precise agency of change may remain obscure or difficult to fathom.  But the disparate characterizations also issue from the fact that there is no reigning theory or paradigm that currently informs the study of social movements.  Rather, a number of identifiable approaches exist, each in its own way struggling to distinguish the systemic from the conjunctural.  Accordingly, the sequence of topics in Part I of the seminar moves from a general introduction to basic concepts employed in the field to a consideration of modes of collective action corresponding to different political and cultural terrains, including those encountered in Western and non-Western societies.  Seminar participants read and discuss a common corpus of works while individual members report to the seminar as a whole on various readings for which individuals or small groups of participants are responsible. 

Part II is taken up by the presentation of papers written by all seminar participants.  Each presentation will be followed by a general discussion initiated by a member of the seminar who has read closely the paper in question and who has prepared some critical remarks on it.  Finally, on the basis of these discussions in seminar, each participant must submit a revised draft of his/her paper by the last class day of the quarter.
