Course will also be offered as PACE 250. All around us, democracy seems to be in crisis, and the world order is being challenged again. In Europe, North and Latin America, politicians are elected into office who make appeals to popular passions, resort to fake news, and use already existing divisions to advance their ambitious and often subversive agendas. Yet, paradoxically, this is also a good time to revisit old theories about democracy, public policy, and leadership. Is partisanship always bad? When does the spirit of party become dangerous for the functioning of democratic institutions? When is compromises desirable and when it is not? These are the questions that we will try to answer in this class. The class combines sources from several disciplines (political science, history, philosophy, and public policy) and combines theory and practice. We will discuss the intersection of politics and civic engagement through examples of current issues.

Course Title: We are all in this together/Covid 19 It's a bad scene from a third-rate horror flick: a catastrophic pandemic, widely predicted yet, still unanticipated, throws the lives of everyone on the planet into chaos and confusion. Oh, that it were only a movie! Welcome to real life 2020. Luckily for you, if you are going to face total chaos and confusion, a university is actually a great place to be. Universities are where the knowledge is made and with knowledge comes power which can reduce our anxiety over the unknown. Universities are home to people who study events from every perspective, making different assumptions and drawing on a variety of methods. If you want to understand the impact of a catastrophe and gain some power over the disorder, a university is where you want to be " either literally or virtually. To help you along, we have created Y200: Covid-19 -- We are all in this Together to collect the diverse perspectives of the university in one course. Classes will be taught by a number of members of the political science faculty, but we will invite speakers from around campus who can help us breakdown and understand this crisis not only politically, but economically, scientifically, historically, sociologically and more. It should be a smorgasbord of perspectives and approaches that will give you a good critical grasp of the impact of this crisis on our understanding of the world (and a strong appreciation for the rich resources of IU!) We will ask each lecturer to suggest some readings for you and each week you will write a short reaction paper on those readings and the class lectures. There will also be a take-home essay exam that will tie the different elements of the class together. Because of the times that make this class necessary in the first place it will be taught both in person, if possible, and online. The lectures will be taped and made available for those who cannot attend class and our work will be done and submitted through Canvas. Should we not meet in person this fall, the class will be held online with video lectures and online Zoom discussion groups with your AIs.

• TOPIC: International Conflict in East Asia

This introductory survey course for students of all majors (**NO PREREQUISITES**) explores international conflict (and cooperation) in contemporary East Asia¿arguably this century¿s most dynamic, and consequential, region. From China¿s meteoric economic and military rise and the ever-present risk of war on the Korean Peninsula to the future of the U.S. alliance system, human rights, free trade, and global pandemics, the issues that define this complex and increasingly interconnected region now powerfully shape international and global politics (and U.S. foreign policy debates). Through this course and its emphasis on contemporary real-world foreign policy challenges ripped from today¿s global headlines, students will deepen their understanding of contemporary East Asia, develop tools to think critically about the opportunities and challenges facing the major players in it¿including the United States¿and become better informed global citizens. Enrolled students will also have ample opportunity to discuss and debate current events, as well as to engage outside experts and policymakers visiting IU through speaker series organized by the instructor. This course has **NO PREREQUISITES** and is open to all undergraduate students. (NOTE: THIS COURSE IS JOINT-LISTED WITH EALC-E204) ¿ **Please note: This course number is for the 2x/week 50-minute lecture. Enrolled students must also register for a 50-minute Friday discussion section**
