This includes Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. While we will focus on the core states of this geographic area, lectures and readings will also analyze other areas of the broader East European land mass that have influenced the history of East Central Europe. This includes Germany, Russia and the Balkans. Topics to be covered in the readings and lectures include: demographic and imperial history; the interwar period; the communist takeovers; the nature of the communist system and communist regimes; Stalinism and de-Stalinization; the output and decline of communist regimes; the revolutions of 1989; transitions to democracy and the market; and European integration. GRADING POLICY:Course grades will be based on the following assignments: In-class presentation (25%) One 8-10 page midterm paper (30%) Final exam covering reading and lecture topics (35%) Attendance and participation (10%) Students are expected to do one oral presentation on a country of their choice. Presentations will be done in pairs. They should last from 30-40 minutes. Cases to choose are: Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia and Yugoslavia. The purpose is to cover key aspects of each countrys political history so other students will gain a broad comparative perspective on the various regime types and governments that have existed in Eastern Europe since the beginning of the twentieth century. The midterm paper will cover one assigned topic to be chosen from a selection of at least three topics relating to themes from the reading and lectures; A final exam covering assigned readings and lecture topics will take place during Finals week. The best way to prepare for this is to do the assigned readings and take notes during seminar lectures. Students will also be expected to attend and participate in class discussions. It is important to keep up with the readings as much as possible in order to complete the assigned work and to follow the in-class presentations. Required readings will be copied and made available on reserve in the AAU library, or in the form of a class reader, subject to sufficient demand. Recommended readings will also be available on reserve in the AAU library. For your in-class presentations and papers, I highly recommend using internet-based sources for individual country research, in particular since you will be covering contemporary as well as historical issues (including EU and NATO expansion). A good resource is the Economist website. For individual country briefings, data, and lists of recent articles, see: (http://www.economist.com/countries/). For detailed regional and country surveys, see: (http://www.economist.com/surveys/). You should have full access to the economist.com website through the AAU. If you do not, please let me know. I also highly recommend http://www.freedomhouse.org/ for detailed reports on individual countries (these are free, so be sure to use them if you cannot access similar reports and surveys on the economist.com website). The East Central European region is generally well covered, but consult with me if you have any questions about which sources may be the most useful for your specific cases. Additional resources include: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ http://www.worldaudit.org/home.htm http://www.psephos.adam-carr.net (for election data and information on electoral systems) TOPICS and READINGS:Session 1: Session 2: Session 3: Session 4: Session 5: Session 6: Session 7: Session 8: Session 9: Session 10: Session 11:  Introduction and course preparation At this meeting I will discuss a variety of introductory topics, including: Why the study of politics and political systems is important; definitions of important concepts and terms from political science and sociology (handout); tips for writing papers (presentation, style, argumentation, use of evidence, etc handout); and what you can expect from this course. There will also be an open Q & A session.
