Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies at its meeting
of February 12, 1980, gives rise to the following motion.
MOTION: "That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board
of Governors, as set forth in S.80- , the proposed new
courses as follows:
POL. 325-3 The Legislative Process in Canada
POL. 326-3 Canadian Political Behaviour
POL. 441-3 Comparative Foreign Relations:
Selected Political Systems
POL. 343-3 Global Political Relations
POL. 481-3 Ethnic Politics and National Identity:
Comparative Perspectives"
It was identified that, subject to approval of the courses, the intent is
to commence offering of the courses during the year 1980-81. SCUS approved
S ?
waiver of the time lag requirements to permit first offering of POL. 326-3
Canadian Political Behaviour in Fall Semester 80-3 and POL. 343-3 Global
Political Relations in Fall Semester 80-3.
In discussion it was made clear that POL. 441-3 Comparative Foreign Relations:
Selected Political Systems is intended to be utilized only once for credit by
any individual student; it is not offered as a Selected Topics course.
It is noted that POL. 343-3 and POL. 481-3 have been offered previously
as Selected Topics with success andstudent interest. The conversion to
regular offering does not call for new resources. The intent is to offer
POL. 343-3 once in every three semesters.
POL. 325-3, POL. 326-3, POL. 441-3 are new courses reflecting the expertise
of the faculty and student interest. The intent is that each of these courses
be offered once in every two years and there is not need of additional resources.
The courses will be interspersed with other regular offerings.
FOR INFORMATION: Under its delegated authority SCUS approved changes
in course description for POL. 431-3 Comparative
Western European Systems.

SELECTED POLITICAL SYSTEMS
The course will compare the foreign policies and international
relations of selected political systems. Topics will include the domestic
and external determinants of foreign policy decisions, the mobilization and
application of resources (psychological, economic, diplomatic, etc.) to
influence international politics, and the consequences of foreign policy
decisions and strategies on internal and global political environments.

powers (U.S.A. and U.S.S.R.; China and Japan, etc.), the foreign relations
of countries in one regional context (e. g. Latin America or Southeast Asia),
or the foreign relations among states having a certain ideological kinship
(the international politics of the comnunist states).]

COURSE OUTLINE
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to examine the political aspects of
global relations. Specialists in international politics for
about two decades after World War II tended to focus most of their efforts
on studies of the cold war, and security and power relationships. As a
result, the interaction between political arid economic aspects of inter-
national relations has received insufficient attention.
In this course, we will examine such topics as the politics of
international aid, trade, investment, cartels, and the global - food and
energy crises.

COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES
COURSE OUTLINE
Course Content
Ethnicity is a major factor affecting the dynamics and organization of
political systems. The course will examine the impact of ethnicity on political
development including: (a) theoretical and ideological issues, (b) political
strategies of group acconuidation and integration in multi-ethnic states, (c) the
formal and informal distribution of per azrong ethnic and regional groups (e.g.
federalism, etc.), including the mechanisms for ethno-regional group representation
and the resolution of intergroup conflicts, (d) the impact of socio-economic change
(modernization, social mobilization) on ethno-cultural cleavages, and (e) the
consequences of multi-ethnicity for regime-stability, patterns of opposition and
dissent. Major emphasis will be placed on the examination of case studies within
a framework of concepts, approaches and research findings derived from the sub-
fields of comparative politics and comparative ethnic studies.

POL. 431-3 COMPARATIVE WESTERN EUROPEAN SYSTENS
•L,1
COURSE OUrLINE
Course Description
This course deals with European political systems in comparative
perspective. It is not a country-by-country survey, nor is it confined
to the major European powers. Instead the focus is on certain topics
of general inrtance in political science, such as party" systems or
political stability, for which the Western European nations provide the
means of making comparisons and arriving
at
generalizations. The main
concern is the politics of liberal democracies.
Prior knowledge of the politics in Western Europe, is not essential,
but students may find themselves involved in background reading, parti-
cularly on the lesser studied European countries, in order to achieve
the course's nore general objectives.
.
Required Reading
Gordon Smith, Politics in Western Europe
Oraanization
One three-hour seminar per week. Students will be expected to attend
each seminar and prepare a term paper of about 20 typewritten, double-
spaced pages covering a major aspect of the course material. Students may
also be expected to give short discussions of their topic in the seminar.
The final grade is made up of 60% for the term paper and 40% for seminar
participation.
