CULTURE AND SOCL\L POLICY IN EUROPE. 1500-1800
Throughout modern history, social policy has reflected the economic
aspirations, cultural values, and
pclitic-cj
goals of those who made and
implemented that policy at any riven time.
In
this course, topics such as poor relief, public health, and
provision for children and lunatics will be examined in the contect of
European political, economic and cultural history in order that the aims and
methods of social policy may be understood more clearly. Students will be
expected to read from contemporary documents as well as from secondary
sources.

Course format and requirements:
There will be two lectures and one tutorial group per week. The
tutorials
will.provide an opportunity to discuss general points made in the
lectures, and to examine critically specific documents on particular topics.
Students will be expected to do assigned readings to preparethen-
selves for tutorial discussions, and to write two short essays (ca. 1500
words each) on selected topics. A final examination will test the student's
understanding of the problems raised In the course as a whole. Final
grades will be based on a roughly e q
ual weighting of tutorial participation,
the essays, and the exartination. (ere attendance at tutcriels does not,
of course, constitute participation.)

In
this course we will consider problems connected
with the claim that it is possible for a collective
to bear moral responsibility or have a rrDral obliga-
tion. The collectives concerned may be organized
and relatively permanent, such as nations and
states, legislatures, corporations, institutions,
and organizations; or they may be relatively
unorganized or impermanent, such as the
community of Forest Home, and the mob

thing, or has an obligation to do something,
about the responsibility borne by, or the
? -'
obligations had by, the "members" of that
collective. For example, suppose one were
.
to assume that Germany was liable to censure for the terror
bombing of London in the Second World War. What if anything
could one conclude from this about the blameworthiness of
individual Germans? If a given legislature ought to pass a
bill imposing rent control, what if anything can one conclude
from this about what an individual legislator ought to do?
However, a preliminary task we will need to undertake is to
investigate the
intuition
shared by a number of philosophers
that a collective is not the sort of thing which could have
a moral obligation or bear moral responsibility. This will
lead into a discussion of the view in the philosophy of the
social sciences
known
as "methodological individualism." A
related question is the question whether, in what sense, and
under what circumstances, a collective can perform an action.

Course Content
The multi-ethnic structure of several coirriunist party states has
posed a special"problem" which has significantly influenced their
political development. ?
The course will focus on several major fac' ?
relating to the nationality question in these states including:
(a) theoretical and ideological issues, (b) elite strate
g
ies of
national and political integration, (c) the formal and informal
distribution of power among ethnic and regional groups (e.g.federal!
(d) the formal and informal mechanisms for ethnic/regional group

and the resolution of intergroup conflicts, (e) the
impact of socio-economic change 'modernization) on cultural cleavag1
and (f) the consequences of multi-ethnicity for regime-stability an
effectiveness. ?
Major emphasis will be placed on the ex
p
erience of
the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia within a framework of concepts,
I
a7proaches, methods, and research findings derived from the broader
sub-fields of comparative politics and comparative ethnic studies.
Other communist states such as Czechoslovakia and Rumania, as well
other types of regimes facing similar problems, will he selectively
considered for purposes of comparative illustration.

THE PARTITION OF AFRICA - A CASE STUDY IN IMPERIALISM
Students who enroll in this course will be invited to
consider why, in the last three decades of the 19th century,
the major European powers become involved in a scramble to
acquire vast estates in Africa. They will also be asked to
consider why each power was interested primarily in certain
parts of the continent. Although the course is designed to
permit students to familiarize themselves with the way in
which historians have viewed the scramble an attempt will
also be made to estimate the extent to which the works of
various theorists contribute to an understanding of the
partition.
The course will be conducted as a seminar course. A
. ?
list
of the required readings for each semester can be
obtained from the instructor.
During the semester each student will be required to
produäe one major paper. This paper will be worth 50% of
the marks awarded.
The remaining 50% of the students.' marks will depend
on seminar performance. If the performance is inadequate
an examination will be held.
