1 GOVT Islam & Politics Fall 2017, Wednesday, 7:20-10:00pm, East 121 Dr. Peter Mandaville Professor of International Affairs Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University Nonresident Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution e: t: (703) Office Research Hall 331 Office hours: Mon 3-4pm or by appointment. This advanced graduate course explores the interface of Islam and politics from the perspective of comparative political science and broader social theory. Through a sequence of case studies focused on particular countries, movements/groups, themes, and issues it surveys the origins, evolution, and contemporary transformation of modern Islamism. The class will be structured around a series of key texts in the study of Muslim politics a combination of classic treatments of political Islam as well as more recently published books and articles that represent the cutting edge of contemporary research on Islam and politics. Class format & expectations Our class meetings will involve a combination of lecture, discussion, and close reading work. Some of our sessions will deal with largely theoretical material whereas at other points in the semester we will be focused on the empirics of specific countries, movements, events, and personalities. Students are expected to arrive at class with all required readings completed, critically analyzed, and prepped to discuss the week s material. While firmly based in social science approaches, the class also draws heavily on historical, sociological, and anthropological material and students will be expected to develop a strong interdisciplinary orientation. Communications & office hours The best way to reach me is always by , and this will also always be my default mode for contacting you. Please note that per university policy I will only send official class communications to your GMU account, so you are expected to check this very regularly. 1
2 I will generally be available to you in my office per the indicated office hours, and would appreciate an ahead of time letting me know if you are planning to come by. You are also very welcome to make an appointment with me for other days and times during the week, but these may have to be held on the Arlington campus or in downtown Washington DC. Attendance and absences As mentioned above, attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. If for some reason it is absolutely necessary for you to be absent (sickness, family emergency, etc.), or if you are experiencing difficulties that impact your class performance, please let me know as far ahead of time as possible. I will always try to work with you and, within reason, to be as accommodating as possible. In an absolute emergency where you do not have time to give notice, I would appreciate an at your earliest convenience after class. Assessment and graded work Your grade for the class will be determined by the following pieces of assessed work: Assignment Due % Paper 1: Metatheory & methodology Sep Paper 2: Islam, politics and social science theory Oct Paper 3: Comparative movement/country analysis Nov 8 20 Paper 4: Final research paper Dec Book Review see below 15 Paper 1: Metatheory and methodology in the study of Islam & politics (1500 words) Write an essay answering one of the following questions: 1. What are the pros and cons associated with using political Islam and/or Islamism as social scientific concepts? 2. Critically assess the legacy of Edward Said s critique of Orientalism for the study of Islam and politics 3. What are the implications of the Enlightenment legacy of secularism for the analysis of contemporary political Islam? Paper 2: Islam, politics and social science theory (3000 words) Write a paper arguing for the superior explanatory value of one of the theoretical approaches to the study of Islam and politics we have covered in class. You may also elect to compare and contrast two or more theories, but should still ultimately make the case for one. Paper 3: Comparative movement/country analysis (3000 words) Write a paper that does one of: 1. Analyzes and explain the interface of Islam and politics in a country we have not covered in detail in class, identifying relevant comparative angles with other cases and theories we have explored; or 2. Compares the role of religion in politics in a Muslim-majority country to a country in which a different religious tradition is dominant. 2
3 Paper 4: Final research paper (5000 words) This capstone research paper may be written on a topic of your choice, to be decided in consultation with the course instructor. Book review ( words) Over the course of the semester we will read several research monographs. Choose one and write a critical analysis in the form of a traditional academic book review. Book reviews will be due the week following our use of the relevant text in class. References and citation Unless otherwise specified, it is expected that your written work will make proper use of standard academic conventions as regards references and citations. For this class, I require you to use citation and referencing system prescribed by the American Political Science Association (which is based on the Chicago Manual of Style).
