Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA1) Consistent Attendance 20%
a. Attending all class sessions is expected. Accommodations will be extended in cases of medical, personal, or mental health emergencies.
2) Active Participation in Class Discussion 30%
a. All students are expected to actively engage in class discussion. Quality of contribution is more important than quantityand asking questions and/or responding to peers’ contributions counts equally as presenting arguments or analyses.
3) Discussion Leader 20%
a. At the outset of the class, students will choose two readings from the schedule (the first from Units II-IV and the second from Unit V) and prepare discussion topics and questions for those readings. Each is 10% of the grade (= 20% total).
4) Final Paper 30%
a. All students will submit a final paper, 8-10 pages double-spaced. There are two choices of topics, depending on the preference of the student. The first option will be to connect the readings, class discussion, methods, and theories learned to the student’s dissertation research project. The second option will be to place three or more course readings in direct conversation and debate with one another. Guidelines for both options will be distributed at the outset of class.

Paul Lazarsfeld Guest ProfessorAcross the social sciences, there is a growing interest in processes that are transnational or even global in scope: climate crisis, energy transition, cross-border migration, Great Power conflict, and more. But such processes pose a challenge to empirical research: How can we rigorously study processes that are unfolding in real time, uncertain in their outcomes, and multi-sited and multi-scalar in their geographies?This course would tackle this methodological challenge. It takes as one point of departure my publication --From Cases to Sites: Studying Global Processes in Comparative Politics--, which charts out an approach to studying global processes via multi-sited research designs, wherein global process and local sites are grasped as co-constitutive scales.The course also has a substantive focus: the energy transition and green industrial policy as both a domestic and a global/inter-state phenomenon in an era defined by intensifying geopolitical tensions, accelerating climate crisis, and deepening inequalities.Throughout the course, we will explore the intersection of the energy transition with systemic developments in global capitalism, via debates over contested concepts such as political capitalism, secular stagnation, neo-mercantilism and green extractivism.
