History: Past & Present A History of Policing in America
Dilemmas in US-China Relations
IN PERSON: Current controversies over the role of policing in urban America are only the latest in a long history of such conflicts. This lecturebased, in-person course will offer a “long view” of policing, beginning in the late 18th century and concluding with a discussion of contemporary concerns from the perspective of that history. Topics will include: the social and political contexts that shaped the development of policing, the creation of police departments, various types of criminal behavior that affected policing, the evolution of a distinct police culture, and the long tradition of various attempts to reform the police. The recommended readings are intended as a supplement for those who wish to know more. • Lecture + Q&A.
ONLINE: This online discussion course will focus on many of the most pressing issues in contemporary Sino-American relations, including ideological cleavages, turmoil in the South China Sea, threats to Taiwan, Chinese-Japanese tensions, technological competition, China’s military modernization, Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative, and the possibility of armed conflict between China and the United States. Students will gain an appreciation for the complex nature of the relations between the US and China and the difficulty in creating a coherent strategy toward Beijing. This course’s required reading is After Engagement: Dilemmas in US-China Security Relations. Students are expected to read approximately 20 pages each week and actively participate in discussions. • Facilitated discussion.
