CPOL-1100 Introduccion a la Politica Comparada

Comparative politics is one of the core areas within Political Science. The explanation for this lies on the fact that a considerable amount of the academic production comes precisely from this field, as well as from numerous theoretical and methodological innovations that have come up in Political Sciences as a result of comparative studies. Unlike other areas within the same discipline, comparative politics is not defined under a topic-based criteria but rather by a methodological criteria, thus the study of comparative politics implies an approach to a methodology of political analysis. This course intends to familiarize the student with the comparative analysis on Political Science. To this end, during the first classes, we will discuss the usefulness of comparisons and their logic. Afterwards, through the discussion of the different compared studies, we will introduce to the students the diversity of comparative politics, its scope, and some of the theoretical and methodological debates from this field.

CPOL-1200 Introduccion a las Relaciones Internacionales

In this course we will introduce the concepts and central issues of present-day international relations. The presentations, lectures, discussions and activities to be carried out will be based upon real world problems, from the present and from the past alike. However, the main emphasis will be given to the concepts, processes and relevant theories to analyze global politics, and not to current or historical events. This course pursues three objectives: to provide the basic knowledge on the international system, to develop the necessary analytical tools to critically study the global relations, and to prepare students for more advanced courses on the international relations by introducing them to the basic theories of this discipline.

CPOL-1400 Introduccion a la Teoria Politica

In the past, normative questions controlled the political theory. Only after the beginning of the 20th century and especially after World War II, the political science was established as an empirical doctrine different to disciplines as philosophy, law and sociology. The main objective of the course is to familiarize the students with some of the normative and empirical theories that have structured the political science. Instead of making a fast study on the past, it deepens some classical texts, and it establishes a dialog between authors from different times. With this course, we intend to provide the students with an adequate framework to the specific problems that may go over other subjects, as well as different conceptual tools for its study.

CPOL-4401 Political Philosophy and Theory

This is an organized course on the central and classis topics of Political Sciences as power, the State, democracy and society. In debates on ideologies they have been largely regarded as a false consciousness or as constitutive in terms of the sense we attribute to it. Furthermore, in recent years, ideologies have evolved from being based on class-dependent actors to non classist interests as culture, gender or environment, among other. Within that framework, the purpose of this course is to contribute to raise the political criteria, by the analysis of the evolution of the main political ideologies.

The objective of the seminar is to explore the limits of what constitutes one of the main debates of contemporary political theory: that posed between the autopoietic paradigm of Niklas Luhmann, heir of the liberal-positivist tradition as well as that of functionalism, and two traditions which directly or indirectly confront it: French post-structuralism, both in its own exponents as well as in the Marxist hybrid of Negri and Hardt and the Frankfurt School, especially in its second and third generations.

CPOL-4510 Social Theory and Habermas’s Politics

The purpose of the course is for students to learn more about Habermas’s political and social philosophy. This author presents a way of thinking where historical development is interpreted as a process of technical rationalization that reaches its peak in the domination of the administered society over the world of life. Habermas’s conception of society and politics is based on a critique of functionalist and instrumental reasoning and on the need to recover dialectical reason and discourse ethics.
