November 19, 1974,
Attached is a proposed curriculum from the Department of Political
Science. This curriölum was approved unanimously by the Faculty of Arts
Curriculum Committee on August 8, 1974. It was subsequently ratified by the
Faculty of Arts and transmitted to the Senate Committee on, Undergraduate
Studies on September 13, 1974.
The Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies considered the pro-
posed curriculum on September 24, 1974. The Committee approved the proposed
Political Science program and approved the courses contained in the document.
SCIJS 74-37B, PS 111 to PS 499 inclusive with the caveat that approval of
PS 422 would be subject to consultation between the Department of Economics and
Commerce and the Department of Political Science on the matter of potential
overlap between PS 422 and Corn 293. It was agreed that the Dean of Arts
would look into the question of possible overlap and report back to the
Committee concerning PS .151 - The Administration of Justice, PS 251 - Intro-
duction to Public Law and Public Administration, and. PS 357 - Public Law,.
with the courses in Law in the Department of Economics and Commerce. With
the exception of the above courses the Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Studies expressed satisfaction with the proposal from the Political Science
Department. The Committee was informed that the proposal had previously been
submitted to the other Departments in the Faculty of Arts, none of which had
expressed concern concerning the proposal, either in general terms or with
regard to the specific question of course program overlap. Members of the
Committee expressed considerable satisfaction with the way in which the pro-
gram was brought forward, with the thoroughness of the presentation, and with
the manner inwhich the proposals were presented. The Committee recommended
that the Academic Planning Committee approve the program. Dean Smith in a
letter to the Secretary of the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies,
subsequently responded to the SCUS request regarding the potential overlap
noted by the Senate" Committee. It was pointed out that the major point of
difference between Econ/Com 293 and the several proposed 'Political Science
courses relates to the level at which the courses were offered; Econ/Com 293
is an introductory lower division course with no prerequisites whereas two
of the Political Science courses under review are open only to students who
have completed at least 60 hours of work and, in addition, certain Group B
Political Science course requirements. The Dean also concluded that the
courses are complementary rather than unnecessarily 'duplicative regarding
scope. The Political Science courses emphasize the political context of the
operation of the legal system and treat the subject from a theoretical pers-
pective whereas Econ/Corn 293 approaches the subject of law in the economic
society as a basic introduction and assumes no prior sophistication. The
.
?
Political Science courses assume considerable knowledge of the operation of
the political system of Canada. Finally, the Political Science courses are

focused clearly on an examination of the Canadian legal system and the
context within which it operates. By contrast the Econ/Com course is
more sweeping in sccpe and includes introductory exposure to other legal
systems. The Dean summarized his review by pointing out that the courses
differ in level, scope and focus. There was no unnecessary duplication.
The Academic Planning Committee considered the submission at its
meeting on the 23rd of October, 1974. Professor Thelma Oliver, Chairman
of the Department of Political Science Curriculum Committee, was present.
After the curriculum was introduced, a limited amount of discussion ensued.
In response to a question related to the apparently traditional nature of
the proposal, Professor Oliver replied that, while the program was in some
ways rather traditional, it did contain a number of unusual features. For
example, there are. far more Canadian courses than in a normal Political
Science program in Canadian universities; specification of five fields of
study is also unusual; and there are a number of very innovative courses
contained in the program.
Following completion of the discussion, it was moved, seconded
and approved unanimously that the Committee recommend to Senate approval
of the proposal. This document transmits that recommendation to Senate.

POLITICAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM PROPOSAL
.
The Department of Political Science, through its academic
Programme, develops a critical outlook on questions relating to
the theory and practice of political institutions, policy alter-
natives on major issues facing the society, and. political ideals
which influence public participation and the quality of political
life in general. Students become familiar with competing theoret-
cal approaches and learn to engage in rigorous political analysis.
The programme provides a variety of courses on the political
problems of Canadian society and its political institutions and
emphasizes a comparative perspective on the political systems of
the different parts of the world. The network of political,
judicial, economic and cultural relationships which constitute
the international community are also studied.
The programme. serves students with a general interest in
public affairs, as well as those who seek a career in teaching,
research or law.
The Political Science department has organized its curriculum
on the basis of five fields within the discipline. The center
digit of each political Science course number (e.g. in the course
numbered 342, 4 is the center digit) determines the field in which
the course is offered.

PS 121 The Canadian Polity
Objectives of the course
This course is intended to serve the Faculty of Arts and other
faculties in the university as an overview of contemporary issues
in Canadian politics. The course is introductory in the sense that no
background is required; it is not introductory in the sense that
foundations are laid
- -
T
that function is reserved for PS 221 and PS 222.
It is our intention to preent current political problems in Canada so
as to demonstrate political analysis and theory at the applied level;
this approach should stimulate interest in our two foundations courses
(PS 221 and PS 222) or provide a one.-course service function for students
who cannot or do not wish to take other courses in Canadian politics and
government.
The course could be organized in a variety of ways, but three are
obvious:
1)
Public Policy Issues
2)
A theoretical 'theme such as Participation
3)
Analytic themes
Attached are outlines suggesting ways in which the course could be i,mplemented
o ?
in .terms of these foci. Other approaches to courses of this sort at other
universities, for example the simulation technique, in which
students
learn
about the political process through role-playing
'of the method or case-study,,
in which a single public deirnd is followed through the decision process
from origin to administration (for example medicare or the
provincial Land
Act),

PS 231 Introduc.ion to Comparative Politics
Students should read most or all of the items listed under
Sections I and II. The remarks and readings in Section III and IV,
however, are merely meant to help orient those preparing papers, who
will, if possible, distribute bibliographies in advance of their
reports. Items starred in Section III and IV are useful comparative
works dealing broadly with the subject concerned; familiarity with
them is advisable. Students should acquire Eckstéin and Apter,
Comparative Politics: A Reader and read widely among the items it contains.

Political Authority Structures (Reports and Papers)
A. Primitive Systems
Primitive political systems (systems based on kinship units) are
found in what we generally call "tribal" societies. A considerable
literature on them, mainly by anthropologists, has appeared in the last tw.
decades. Outstanding comparative works are:
*Lucy Mair, Primitive Government (Pelican Books)
I. Schapera, Government and Politics in Tribal Societies
*A I. Richard, ed., East African Chiefs
African Political Systems, ed. by Evans-Pritchard and Fortes
Max Gluckman, "Political Institutions," in The Institutions of
Primitive Societies

2(fl) ?
.
•
M.G. Smith, "Segmentary Lineage Systems," Journal of the
Roydi
Anthropological Institute, 86 Part 2) 39 sq
?
//
3
These works also contain useful bibliographies for further
study. Older works of obvious merit are to be found in the
literature on political evolution; e.g., Sir Henry Maine,
Ancient Law and The Early History of Institutions, R.M. Maclver,
The Modern State, Book I and E.M. Sait, Political Institutions,
Part II -- not to mention Tacitus on the Germanic tribes of Homer.
Papers on this subject might well deal with relevant aspects of ancient
history as well as contemporary or recent tribal societies.
B. Traditional Systems
Traditional political systems are based on ascriptive recruitment
and customary practices -- systems legitimated by "inheritance."
There is no outstanding comparative work on them; hence, reports
must perforce be based on reading in non-comparative studies of
such systems. A fairly good introduction, however, is provided
AD
in Max Weber' s political sociology, especially in
The Theory of Social and Economic Organization (transi. T.
Parsons),
pp.
56-78, 124-132, 32
1
4_329, and 3
1
41358. (See also
R. Bendix, Max Weber: An Intellectual Portrait.)
Another useful orienting work is D. Lerner, The Passing of
Traditional. &ciéty
*Pye's article listed in Section II does not deal exclusively
with traditional systems but contains useful references to them.
Since traditional systems have almost vanished from the earth
(Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Ethiopia are exceptions), they
must necessarily be dealt with to a large extent in historical
terms. The literature on medieval European politics provides the
richest source. Outstanding are ?
rc; Bloch, Feudal Society,
and, on a smeller scale, R.W. . Southern, The Making of the Middle
Ages, Chapter II. Standard textbooks like Strayer and Munro

id
Thompson and Johnson mike a good beginning, but students shoui.d

and periods. (Some prior knowledge of medieval history is

practically mandatory for doing a piper on this topic.) Works
on developing areas also generally contain references to the
characteristics of traditional systems. (See section F below.)
C. Transitional Systems: Revolutionary Regimes
Revolutionary regimes are authority structure/
er ged1a.n
consolidating a violent take-over of governmen
t
?
having
a "revolutionary" ideology', i.e., one ain)/g'at the broad-scale
transformation of the 'existing sociaYbrdj'-- usually a messianic,
always a very broad, vision, which ,s as the regime's claim
to legitimacy. General treatmeijti
of
such regimes can be found in
the leading comparative studi of revolutions, though none of
these studies deals exclusively with the structure and processes
of revolutionary regimes. The best are
Hannah Arendt, On Revolution
'
?
*L.P. Edwards, The Natural History of Revolution
*Crane &inton, The Anatomy of Revolution
*George Pettee, The Proceso
f
Revolution. (Brinton's book ,also
contains 'an excellent bibliography on the
subject)
7
Books on the French, Russian, Chinese and Cuban Revolutions, and
their immediate aften.ths, are of course plentiful and should be
consulted; so mightworks dealing with Cromwell' s England. Among
more recent cases, those of Turkey under Kemal Atturk, Egypt under
Naguib and Nasser, and present day Algeria are relevant. Attention
can also be paid profitably to Mexico after 1910.
D. Transitional Systems: "Modernizing" and "Tutelary" Regimes
Modernizing and Tutelary regimes are oriented toward, and
legitimitcd
by, explicit social aspirations of a non-revolutionary type.
By "non-revolutionary" is meant that they do not have a
COfl3Ol1Lktt
victory after a true internal war (not a colonial war) and/br
that their vision of the future is vague and limited -- not
oo ll
?
inspired by the vision of a totally renovated, perfect society,
-

but directed rather toward somewhat more modest goals (independence,
industrialization, etc.). Most of what we call nowadays the
"developing" or "new" nations probably fall into this category.

E. Semi-Modern Systems.: Representative,Ol.garchy
"Representative oligarchies" are not to be confused with
r.OPU1ElI
democracies o' autocracies. The term, widely used in the
riiwtut.Iit.11
century, denotes liberal and constitutional government with sev& c.Ly
and formally limited participation (e.g., by means of property or
similar criteria). One can conceive of representative oligarchies
6
- ?
as very broad-based aristocracies or severely limited democracies
without going far wrong. Another term for them is "semi-competitive"
systems, though this often is used in a different sense.
There is no outstanding comparative treatment of these systems. However,
a large and useful literature exists on European representative systems
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (especially on Great Britain)
and Mosca's The Ruling Class is very useful for elucidating the concept,
Papers on this subject may also deal with contemporary Non-Western systems
in which restricted democratic or liberal, broad-based oligarchic processes
are found. Although representative oligarchy, like traditional govermient1
has almost vanished from the earth, some exemjlar's still exist in colonial
areas having a restricted or differential franchise; perhaps also in the
"basic" democracy of Pakistan.
For the working of a classic representative oligarchy, that of Britain before,
say, the Reform Act of 1867, see the following (among others):
Wa1tiBagehot, The English Constitution
Elie Halevy, History of the English People in the Nineteenth Century,
especially Vols. 1 and 2.

Edward Porritt, The Unreformed House of Coninons
F. Semi-Modern Systems: Non-Totalitarian Autocracy
For a brief analysis of what is meant by a non-totalitarian autocracy,
students are referred to Eckstein and Apter, Comparative Politics, Introduction
to section on Totalitarianism and Autocracy. Very briefly, non-totalitarian
atuocracies are dictatorships which fall significantly short of either
wanting to achieve or achieving the total coordination of social life -- a
virtual identity of society and state. Most of the world's present dictatorships
fall into this category, as do virtually all dictatorships and absolute
monarchies prior to modern times.
A good general beginning in the study of such systems is provided by
*Alfred Cobban, Dictatorship, especially Chapter 8 and Appendix
Other general works worth consulting are:
Almond and Coleman, The Politics of the Developing Areas
S.N. Eisenstadt, The Political Systems of Empires
Friedrich and Brzezinski, Totalitarian Dictatorship and Autocracy
7
Ford, Dictatorship in the Modern World
Among
many other relevant
I
conteniorary systems are Spain and Portugal,
South Vietnam, Iraq, Lybia, U.A .R., Sudan, Cuba (before Castro), the
Dominican Republic (before and after Bosch), Haiti, Paraguay, and Nicaragua.
G. Modern Systems: Totalitarianism
The standard general works are:
*Cobbari, Dictatorship
*Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
*Friedrich and Brzezinski, Totalitarian Dictatorship and Autocracy
Friedrich, ed., Total1tarjarnm
R. C. Tucker, "Towards a Comparative Politics of Movement Regimes,"
American Political Science Review, Vol. 55, June, 1961
The standard countries are Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, U.S.S.R., China, and
the Soviet Satellites, including Cuba.

PS 231 Introduction to Comparative Politics
The course is structured to provide a comprehensive introduction to the study
of comparative politics and government at two different levels: first, through
lectures, readings and discussions on alternative methods of comparative
analysis (approaches concepts, etc.); second, through the detailed study of a
number of specific political structures and processes in contemporary
"democratic" and "authoritarian" political systems. Major emphasis will be
placed on politics in "advanced" industrial societies, particularly Great
Britain, France, Germeny, and the Soviet Union, although comparisons will
also be made with smaller European states (liberal and socialist), and with
the industrializing ("developing," "modernizing") countries outside of Europe.
The topics to be examined will include: political culture (citizen attitudes
and behavior toward authority) and. political socialization; the articulation
and aggregation of political interests by parties and pressure groups; the
role and interplay of various institutional actors (legislators, executives, civil
servants, elites and citizen activists) in the formulation, implementation,
and adjudication of political decisions; and the political impact of socio-
economic and ideological changes (e.g., modernization, technocracy, the
"end of ideology," etc.). One of the principal themes considered in the
course will be the various ways in which political opposition is expressed,
channeled, and restricted in different political systems.
Required Readings:
Joseph LaPalombara. Political Within Nations (1974)
Louis J. Canton .(ed.). Comparative Political Systems (1974)
Henry S. Albinski and Lawrence K. Pettit (eds.). European Political Processes:
Essays and Readings (1974, 2nd ed.
A course syllabus and list of additional readings will be distributed in class
Organization:
Lectures and discussions for two hours a week, and a one hour tutorial period.

PS 333 Government and Politics: USSR I
The multi-ethnic structure of the USSR has posed a special "problem" which
has significantly influenced political development. The course will focus
on several major factors relating to the nationality "question" including:
(a) ideological issues; (b) elite strategies of national
and
political
integration; (c) the formal and informal distribution of power among ethnic
and regional groups (e.g., federalism); (d) the formal and informal mechanisms
for ethnic/regional group representation and the resolution of intergroup
conflicts; (e) the impact of socio-economic change (modernization) on
cultural cleavages; and (f) the consequences of multi-ethnicity for regime-
stability and effectiveness. Major emphasis will be placed on the experience
of the Soviet Union within a
•
framework of concepts, approaches, methods,
and research findings derived from the broader sub-fields of comparative
politics and comparative ethnic studies. Other corimunist states such as
Yugoslavia, Czec]oslavakia and Rumania, as well as other types of regimes
facing similar problems, will be selectively considered for purposes of
comparative illustration.

The best single source of current information on African politics is Africa
Report; students are urged to consult this publication regularly. The weekly
West Africa gives excellent coverage to contemporary developments on the
western side of the continent. Africa Confidential offers detailed reporting
on the background to current developments, and contains much normally
inaccessible data on political events. For a rather dated catalogue of basic
- political information about all African political systems, Helen Kitchen's
A Handbook of African Affairs is useful. Two other inexpensive paperbacks
which are highly recommended for general background are Roland Oliver and
J . D. Fage, A Short History of Africa, and Paul Bohannan, Africa and Africans.
For further reading, an extensive bibliography on African politics is available
from the instructor on request.
Lecture Topics
Political thought of an African leader
Single party systems evaluated
Politics of an African state (or comparative analysis of two or three states)
African socialism
Separatism and Secessionism
• -
?
Rebellion and revolution
Planning and development policy in an African state
?

PS 339 Government and Politics of Selected African Nations
The course will focus on Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole, using national
examples as case studies for the illustrations of wider problems. "Politics in
Africa" will, therefore, not primarily deal with selected countries as such but
relevant political and social phenomena common to all or most of the African
nations since independence.
With this perspective, the following topics, among others, will be
discussed in detail:
1.
Different legacies of colonial powers - Neo-colonialism-Decolonizat ion.
2.
Pan Africanism - Nationalism - OAU.
3.
African socialism.
L.
Ethnicity - Minorities - Cultural Pluralism.
5. "Tribalism" vs. National Unity.
One party states vs. Westminster democracy.
7.
Military coups - Political Rle of the Army.
8.
Corruption and Graft - The New Civil Servant Bourgeosie.
9.
Modern African City - Urbanization - Migrancy.
10.
Industrialization
-
Alternatives of economic development.
11.
The White Dominated South - Dialogue or Isolation.
12.
Prospects of Liberation Movements.
Apart from three short book reviews of general reading, each student is
expected to write a major essay of 10 - 15 pages which will be discussed in class
and defended by the author.
A detailed list of readings on the above outlined topics will be made
available in class.

Course Outline
The problem of interest groups and elite accomodaion in a variety of
western European nations will provide the focus 'of this seminar.
The work of Arend Lijphart will be required reading, and students will
be expected to develop a bibliography of relevant articles written
within the last five years on this topic. Since this is a relatively
new field of interest in the field, there is much scope for essays,
and the burden of the course will be taken by student essays and
presentations during the last eight weeks. Essays MUST be based on
the problem as stated above. Evaluation will be weighted thus:

Students are advised to purchase The Politics of Accomodation by

Course Content
The course will employ a comparative analytical
perspjative
in order to describe and explain the politicai uevelo.pzent
of the European communist states. Major emphasis wil.. be
placed on the political, organization ana political dyamica
of the Soviet Union and selected East European regimes,
although various aspects of non-European communist systems
(China. Cuba, etc.) will be considered for purposes of com-
parative illustration. The readings, lectures, and dis-
cussions in the course will explore the similarities and diff-
erences in the political development of communist systems.
What features do communist party-states share, if any, (e.g.,
organiza1ona1 structures, form of property ownership, Ldeological
assumptions, restriction of opposition and intergroup on.flicts,
conceptions of human nature, etc.)? What are the sources of
variation in communist political development (diverse tistorical
experiences, distinct cultural settins,
1p
of acquiring
different
authority, various levels
patterns
of economic development,
etc.)? How have the various intended and unintended consequences
of politically induced 'socio-economic changes influenced recent
developments in the European communist states? The course seeks
to provide the student with a basis for
answering these and
other related questions.

The central problem of' the seminar will be to investigate how
the analyst might detect sustained insti-utional change in political
life. Stress will be placed on the problems involving themobili-
zation, participation and
integration
of political activities as
social and economic change advances. An effort will be made to
establish the importance of political variables in the developmental
process, particularly'in regard to the more newly established nations.
Early in the semester each student should select a country in
which he had particular interest and to which he will apply the con-
cepts discussed in the weekly meetings. He should be prepared in
the seminar meetings to illustrate how he feels the concepts and
•
?
?
generalizations being discussed that week would relate to the
society he has selected. At the third meeting of the class I would
like you to bring a bibliography on the political development of
•
?
?
the country you have selected, indicating those books and articles
you have read.
The required readings will be on reserve at the Library. The
following books have been ordered and maybe purchased. They
have been selected with an eye to presenting a variety of
approaches to the analysis of political development.

The objective of this course is to acquaint students with the problems of federations,
both common and unique, and with the means used to resolve these problems. Students

are often ethnocentric in their appreciation of questions such as minority rights
in multi-ethnic societies, regional disparities and other problems of complex
political units; this course will take a world view including unfamiliar federations
such as the Indian, Swiss, and some Afi'ican states.

P.S. 435 Comparative Federal Systems
This course will be organized around student-led seminars. Students will
choose a theme from the appended list of topics and in consultation with
the instructor, two or three federal systems which will be compared in
terms of that theme. Other topics are of course, available, but will be
accepted in preference to one of the given topics Only as a consequence
of considerable persuasion. Papers should be approxitely 4500 words in
length. They will be reproduced and distributed to members of the class
one week before discussions. The last seven weeks of class will be devoted
to discussion of these papers, two each week on the same topic. The first
five weeks will be a combination of lecture and discussion of the classic
themes of federalism around which student papers will be written. In view
of the need to provide as much guidance as possible for students in their.
research, the order of student presentations is fixed to correspond with
the order of lecture/discussion. Thus, the students responsible for the
theme, 1inority rights in federal states' will be the first to present their
papers, since their theme was first in the sequence of lecture/discussion.
Grades will be assigned according to the weight, paper 60%, presentation 20%,
participation in other discussions 20%.
Required Reading:
There are many works on federalism, but to concise and contemporary analyses
which should be read.

PS ll Introduction to International Organizations
Law, Ideology, and Power in the contemporary World Community.
An examination of the main political-legal institutions of World public
order in terms both of original historical intentions and also subsequent
concrete practice. Starting from the "One World" institutionalized parlia-
mentarianism of the original United Nations thesis, we will examine the
modifications and transformations effected by the emerging post-War Bipolar
(Soviet-Western) confrontation and the subsequent Soviet-Western
detente,
and also the new challenges to conventional post-War power models represented
by the entry of Communist China into the super-Power family and by the
emerging Third World bloc (the "North-South" challenge). Special attention
will be given to relations between NATO and the European Community on the one
hand, and the Warsaw Pact countries, CONECON, on the other, including the
"\o Germanies" issue, Polish-German frontier questions, the Berlin problem.

ObjectivesoftheCourse
Scholarship in the field of international politics, especially in the last twenty
years, has been extensive and of very high qualty. This course will give students
a sense of the nature of inquiry in the field of international politics, the kinds
of problems that are studied, and the methods that have been used to attempt to
think systematically about those problems. As the course is introductory in nature
it is intended that considerable interplay between concepts and data should be maintaLr..:.

PS 341 International Integration and Regional Association
The theme of this seminar is Integration: the E.E.C. Although we will
examine processes of integration in Western European States, our comparative method
will lead us to applications and hypothesis testing in other regions of the world
as well. The first and last weeks will be devoted to organization and evaluation
respectively, and the discussion leaders will. be
assigned for each week of the
semester at the first meeting of class. All students will lead discussion at
least once, and the review essay on which leadership is based will be due at the
beginning of the class in question. Students will be required to compile a biblio-
graphy on the subject of their leadership-week's discussion. Keynote readings are
required of all sutdents and an essay of 15 - 20 pages is due in the twelfth week.

PS 345 The Nation-state and the Multi-national corporation
A new form of international organization has emerged since World War II:
the multi-national corporation. This course will examine the interaction
between the governments of selected nations and corporations on the basis
of primary documentary material in an effort to develop an analysis of
the changes that are taking place in the relationship between states
and within states as a result of this new institutional form which
brings the term, 'political economy', once more into use. The political
consequences of the growth of power in vertically integrated and merely
conglomerate enterprises, in terms of normative theory, government
structure and informal, processes, will be examined on the basis of
case studies. The seminar will work as a group to develop a coherent
analysis of what is happening to create this new order, and students
will be required to write a reflective essay based on the work of
the seminar in the last few weeks of the semester. Evaluation will
be based on pnrticipation (40%), essay (60%).

PS 351 Canadian Urban Government and Politics Course Outline
This course will focus upOn the problems of partisanship in urban
politics, grass-roots organizations, and experiments in urban
political structure. Each of these problems will be studied in
the context of a Canadian city: partisanship in Winnipeg,
grass-roots organizations in Vancouver, and metropolitan structure
in Toronto. This is, of course, only a model from which the class
will work, since Winnipeg has embarked upon a major experiment in
political reorganization, the non-partisan tradition in Vancouver
is extremely interesting and has a considerable body of literature,
and grass-roots organization in its' contemporary form as manifest
in Vancouver is also evident in other Canadian cities, especially
Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal. The three themes will, however,
tie together seminar discussion and research papers, and focus
analysis in a field which is frequently caught in the temptation
to diffuse across the many issues that occupy metropolitan polities.
The course will be organized so that two weeks will be devoted to
reading in the problem area, seminars taking the form of discussions
centered on readings. The following two weeks will involve the
presentation and discussion of student papers related to the theme
being considered. This pattern will be repeated for each of the
other two themes to complete the twelve-week semester.
Evaluation will be based upon a research paper based on one of the
three themes (60%), participation in seminars based on readings (20%)
and participation in seminars basedon student papers.

Course Outline
This course resembles no other introductory course in public adminis-
tration known to the instructor. It does not follow the design of any of the
standard text books on the subject; nor is it designed specifically to prepare
you for the civil service examinations. Its purpose is to explore relationships
between the empirical phenomena of public bureauhrcies and specific hypotheses
embodied in a theory which purports to relate to such institutions.
In accordance with this purpose, each student is required to do the
following things:
1. Read and discuss in seminar:
Nicos Mouzelis, Organization and Bureaucracy: An Analysis of Modern
Theories (bookstore or library)
Anthony Downs, Inside Bureaucracy (bookstore or library)
Herbert Kaufman, The Forest Ranger (bookstore or library)
. ?
2. Select for study a particular government agency which has an office (or
offices) in the Vancouver area;
3. Obtain data about that agency through interviews and other research techniques;
L.
Categorize roughly that agency in terms of the major variables in the theory;
5.
Analyze specifically that agency in terms of one hypothesis (or several related
hypotheses) asserted in or suggested by the theory;
6.
Present an oral report on that agency to the other members of the seminar for
their comments and criticisms;
7.
Submit a term paper in which the analysis of the agency is presented;
8.
Defend the term paper orally before the instructor in his office.
There will be a take-home quiz based exclusively on Anthony Downs' theory
in the fourth week of the semester. There will not be a final examination.

PS 451 Public Policy Analy5.s
This course will deal with public policy through individual research
papers to be written, discussed and defended in seminar by members of the class.
Each participant will be expected to choose a policy area within the first week
of the semester. Among the problems that could be researched are: foreign invest-
ment, taxation, housing, native peoples, northern development, education labour,
resources, women, the media. Some students will have a very short time in which
to prepare their papers since seminars will be concerned with the discussion of
student papers.
Everyone will be required to read the research paper to be considered
each week and prepare a short critique or evaluation of that paper.
Organization
One 3-hr. seminar. After an initial organizational meeting there will
be a short hiatus before seminars begin. Papers will be due one week before
presentation in class, to permit duplication, distribution, and reading in advance
of the seminar. Evaluation will be based on the research paper, modified where
appropriate by the quality of critiques and participation in the seminar.

Course Outline
This course will be run as a workshop on the problem of government
planning in various policy fields. Students will submit research
proposals either as individuals or in groups, and under the guidance
of the instructor, field-work will consistute the major portion of
the work and grade in the course. Both provincial and municipal
governments may serve as foci for field research, and either
Vancouver or Burnaby may be used. Rural municipalities do not pose
interesting problems of resource control or economic managmént, and
so will not be permitted as the object of field research. Agr:h.:ultural
policy may well be of interest to some students, however, and this
would involve research at the provincial and perhaps federal levels.
Government planning and control in the following policy areas are
suggested as the basis of field projects:
resource managment
public utilities
transportation
housing, the construction industry
town planning
taxation
consumer affairs
communications media

PS 459 Administrative Problems of Developing Countries
Purpose of the Seminar
The basic problems of modernization in the developing countries are economic
and social. Economic development involves fundamentally the rational exploitation
of natural and human resources. Social development is concerned with the national
integration of the society, with the establishment of
'
national purposes and
institutions responsive to the evolving requirements of the society, and with
the amelioration of the human condition which is the source and sanction
of all societies. The changes that are subsumed under the rubrics "development"
and "modernization'
,
' are alterations of habits, attitudes, modes of behavior
and institutions that run far beyond the capabilities of the traditional
law-and-order governments with which iiost developing countries are familiar.
On the other hand, many of the most important elements in the modernization
process - the mobilization of resources, the development of essential Parts
of the infrastructure required in a modernizing society, the preservation of
order, the establishment of legitimacy, and perhaps most important of all the
setting of priorities - are essentially political and administrative in
character, and their execution eventually comes to rest in large part upon
public officials and the machinery of government. Administrative nodernizat ion,
it is true, will not in itself produce economic, social or political modernization,
but there is little likelihood that economic, social and political development
will be achieved unless administration is moderni?.ed.
In some
'countries the problems of development administration are coincidental
with the establishment of integral national political and administrative
institutions. These are the so-called new countries in which, for various
reasons usually related to the circumstances under which independence was
achieved, political and administrative structures and processes must be
erected de novo. But in most developing countries there is some sort of legacy
from either the pre-existing colonial regimes or from, for example, the
atrophied political and administrative institutions in Latin America produced
by nineteenth century revolutions that merely substituted indigenous for foreign
oligarchies. Indeed, next only to the creation of truly national societies,
the most difficult, and so far unresolved, problem in developing countries is
that of integrating traditional governing classes and bureaucracies into the
mainstream of nDdernization and building public services capable of responding
acceptably to the revolution of rising expectations.
In studying the administrative problems of developing countries it is the purpose
of the seminar:
1.
To isolate and define the important issues of public administration
that derive peculiarly from attempts by government to produce purposive
economic and social change;
2.
To relate these problems, in their administrative aspects, to significant
social constants and variables in the society.
3.
To examine in some detail the interaction of pifposive change and social
constants and variables in important processes of administrative rrdernizaticñ
such as development policy formulation, the management of development
program, administrative reform, and institution building.
Program of Seminar Discussions:
The administrative problems of developing countries do not arise in a vacuum.
They occur in connection with efforts to get something done. We will, therefore,
be concerned throughout the seminar with relating administration to the achieve-
ment of substantive goals of economic, social and political modernization.
This effort will take the form of periodic analysis of specific cases involving
administrative decisions or actions affecting the operation of development
activities. Members of the seminar will be expected to draw and elaborate the
implications of administrative problems from: (a) theirwork- on substantive
development problems in other seminars; (b) from their experience in countries
with wihich they are familiar; (c) from their experience in administrative
situations in which they have been involved; (d) from other case studies of
development administration; (e) from all four.
Members of the seminar are requested to turn in to the instructor
(iS

possible, and in any case no later thn February 10th, a list of the case
