Political theory

2009-04-26T17:15:06Z

Mch:

'''Political theory''' is one of the subfields of the [[Political Science Department]]. In general, "political theory" can mean one of two related things:

# '''Political philosophy''': In which one might study, for example, [[Core Curriculum]] classics like [[Locke]] and [[Hobbes]] as well as more recent thinkers like [[John Rawls]]. Related areas of study include legal philosophy and moral philosophy. There's not much of this sort of political theory in the political science department -- you're more likely to encounter it in the philosophy department. Nevertheless, papers and even senior theses in political science do get written in this area from time to time.
# '''Formal theory''': In which scholars attempt to develop mathematical models of political science phenomena, e.g. voting behavior (so-called "social choice theory"). This area of study is heavily inspired by the success of formal models in economics, and a lot of the major results are due to scholars like Kenneth Arrow who are known to the wider world primarily as economists. There's a lot of formal logic and math involved here, and many of its practitioners studied math at some point in their lives. (N.B.: formal theory is ''not'' the same thing as quantitative/statistics-based/empirical political science, though they are related).

Political theory is not listed as an available subfield on the Columbia College [[Bulletin]], but political science majors can make it one of their subfields if they ask nicely.

Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies

Mch:

The '''Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies''', commonly referred to as the '''Saltzman Institute''' or '''SIWPS''', is a research institute affiliated with [[SIPA]] and the [[Political Science Department]] whose founding mission is to understand the "disastrous consequences of war upon man's spiritual, intellectual, and material progress."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/index.htm Saltzman Institute homepage], accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> It was founded as the Institute of War and Peace Studies in [[1951]], during [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]'s tenure as president of Columbia, and renamed in [[2003]] after Columbia alum [[Arnold A. Saltzman]] (CC '36), a diplomat and donor.<ref>Moore, Katie. [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/archives/vol28/vol28_iss13/Pg7-2813.pdf "Columbia’s Institute of War and Peace Studies Named for Arnold A. Saltzman."] ''Columbia University Record''. April 25, 2003.</ref>

As the Institute's website says, from the beginning it has "interpreted its role broadly," and today it takes its mission to be to probe "the political, military, historical, legal, economic, moral, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of international relations."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/index.htm Saltzman Institute homepage], accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> Fittingly, then, its members contribute broadly and quite prominently to scholarship and policymaking in international relations, foreign policy, security studies, and related fields.

A number of the most noted scholars of international relations theory are associated with the Saltzman Institute or have been in the past. Its first director was [[William T.R. Fox]], one of the field's founding figures and the coiner of the term "superpower". Current notable scholars include [[Kenneth Waltz]], Fox's former student and the founder of the school called ''neorealism'', and [[Robert Jervis]]. Its current director is [[Richard Betts]].

Economics-philosophy (major)

2009-02-23T04:45:22Z

Mch: /* Classes/professors to avoid */

The '''economics-philosophy''' major is not a double major, yet not a double concentration. It allows students to unite the basic Economics curriculum with basic principles taught in Philosophy. Both theoretical and practical, the union of the two studies might seem like an unusual combination, but as students within the major will attest, the two subjects have a lot more in common than one would assume.

A common unspoken secret among Econ/Philosophy majors is that most chose this major because it seemed easy on paper. Most, however, learn midway through the major, if not by the end of their studies, that the E/P major is probably one of the most demanding majors among the social sciences. The addition of a second required Calculus course plus the Macroeconomics course only adds to the demands placed on E/P majors. Good advice to have when possibly choosing this major is to know what you are getting into. Advising is minimal (but thankfully available, which is rare in the Econ department), classes are crowded, and work is time-consuming and sometimes tedious. Much like the courses you will be studying, the Economics/Philosophy major is a mental challenge to those who accept it.

== Courses ==

The 44-point requirement for the E/P major breaks down as follows: five economics courses, five philosophy courses, a sequence of two calculus courses, one statistics course, and a senior seminar in Economics and Philosophy.

Those expecting to have lots of room to move within the E/P major should understand that much of their freedom in choosing courses to satisfy the major is limited. The pool from which E/P majors can choose specific classes is smaller than those in the Econ major. There are only three Statistics courses to choose from, four possible sequences of Calculus courses, three mandatory Philosophy courses (Methods And Problems, Symbolic Logic, and Philosophy of Science), and three mandatory Economics courses (Principles of Economics, Intermediate Microeconomics, and Intermediate Macroeconomics).

Expect to spend at least half of your major in large lecture halls. The Calculus, Statistics, and Econ classes have at least 35-40 students, maxing out at 100 or more per section. The philosophy courses tend to be less populated; Methods and Problems will likely be the largest of the courses, at about 45 students per section.

=== Economics courses ===

The Economics portion of the major will be challenging, but could also be rewarding. For the most part, that will depend on who is teaching your course and what sort of class you are looking for. Professors tend to either be engaging lecturers but tough graders or boring lecturers and somewhat easy graders. Consensus says there is an equal mix of both, so search out the ones who best fit you. Getting a good Introduction to Priniciples of Economics professor is key, as this course will be the foundation for everything you will study in Economics.

Course work ranges from minimal to demanding. Every Economics course will require at least 3 or 4 problem sets a semester - some require one per week! Midterm and final exams can be quite difficult - forming study groups early in the semester will be helpful. Occasionally, upper-level Econ courses will require essays (8-12 pages), but some professors may allow those essays to substitute for final exams.

=== Philosophy courses ===

On the Philosophy side, most professors have been teaching their courses for a long time. Haim Gaifman, Isaac Levi, and Bernard Berofsky are just a few examples of those will likely teach one or more of your Philosophy courses.

The older professors bring good and bad qualities to their classes. On the good side, you will be learning from some of the foremost philosophy professors in the world. Debate can be lively if you have a handle on the material being presented. On the flip side, they have taught these courses for a long time and might not be so willing to accept different points of view from their students, some might even completely resist it. Some professors also have the tendency to spend copious amounts of class time on topics that do not pertain to the material being discussed in class. Striking a balance between accepting the professors' points of view and careful analysis of the texts of any given course is the best means to gain any understanding of the material.

Methods and Problems, with Prof. John Collins, is an often entertaining introduction to the philosophical questions that you will find throughout your Philosophy courses. The Symbolic Logic course will most certainly be the low point of your academic career at Columbia if you take it with Gaifman - in a class of 30-40 students, the number of C and D grades vastly outnumbers the number of A's given (usually one or two students receive an A). Achille Varzi is the man to search out for taking Symbolic Logic. Philosophy of Science for undergrads has not been offered in years, which will no doubt frustrate many in the major, as you will be forced to take the graduate seminar. Those forced into the substitute don't have very nice things to say about the experience.

Course work almost always involves essays. Typically, two to three essays are required, usually including at least one midterm exam. There are variants to this formula. With Isaac Levi, a single paper due the last day of class determines your entire grade. With Gaifman, there is homework due for every blooming class! And don't assume that since you are doing philosophy that the reading is easy or fluffy, as may have been the case with CC. To the contrary, be prepared to spend hours on any given reading assignment. Readings are almost always dense in length and/or in detail and description.

== What current majors have to say ==

* Great major for a pre-law undergrad.
* There needs to be more communication between the two departments and advisers.
* Statistics is an easy course if you do all the work on time.
* Microeconomics is a necessary evil
* If you can't do it, don't choose the major.
* Classes like Economic Development and Urban Economics use real world examples, which livens the classes up.
* Senior seminar in Economics and Philosophy is entertaining.
* Midterms and finals in both Econ and Philosophy often mirror those on problem sets so be sure to do problem sets even when they are optional.

Economics-philosophy (major)

2009-02-23T04:45:04Z

Mch: /* Classes/professors to avoid */

The '''economics-philosophy''' major is not a double major, yet not a double concentration. It allows students to unite the basic Economics curriculum with basic principles taught in Philosophy. Both theoretical and practical, the union of the two studies might seem like an unusual combination, but as students within the major will attest, the two subjects have a lot more in common than one would assume.

A common unspoken secret among Econ/Philosophy majors is that most chose this major because it seemed easy on paper. Most, however, learn midway through the major, if not by the end of their studies, that the E/P major is probably one of the most demanding majors among the social sciences. The addition of a second required Calculus course plus the Macroeconomics course only adds to the demands placed on E/P majors. Good advice to have when possibly choosing this major is to know what you are getting into. Advising is minimal (but thankfully available, which is rare in the Econ department), classes are crowded, and work is time-consuming and sometimes tedious. Much like the courses you will be studying, the Economics/Philosophy major is a mental challenge to those who accept it.

== Courses ==

The 44-point requirement for the E/P major breaks down as follows: five economics courses, five philosophy courses, a sequence of two calculus courses, one statistics course, and a senior seminar in Economics and Philosophy.

Those expecting to have lots of room to move within the E/P major should understand that much of their freedom in choosing courses to satisfy the major is limited.

Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies

2009-02-23T01:35:54Z

Mch:

The '''Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies''', commonly referred to as the '''Saltzman Institute''' or '''SIWPS''', is a research institute affiliated with [[SIPA]] and the [[Political Science Department]] whose founding mission is to understand the "disastrous consequences of war upon man's spiritual, intellectual, and material progress."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/index.htm Saltzman Institute homepage], accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> It was founded as the Institute of War and Peace Studies in [[1951]], during [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]'s tenure as president of Columbia, and renamed in [[2003]] after Columbia alum [[Arnold A. Saltzman]] (CC '36), a diplomat.<ref>Moore, Katie. [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/archives/vol28/vol28_iss13/Pg7-2813.pdf "Columbia’s Institute of War and Peace Studies Named for Arnold A. Saltzman."] ''Columbia University Record''. April 25, 2003.</ref>

As the Institute's website says, from the beginning it has "interpreted its role broadly," and today it takes its mission to be to probe "the political, military, historical, legal, economic, moral, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of international relations."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/index.htm Saltzman Institute homepage], accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> Fittingly, then, its members contribute broadly and quite prominently to scholarship and policymaking in international relations, foreign policy, security studies, and related fields.

A number of the most noted scholars of international relations theory are associated with the Saltzman Institute, including [[Kenneth Waltz]], the founder of the school called ''neorealism'', and [[Robert Jervis]]. Its current director is [[Richard Betts]].

The '''Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy''' (ISERP) is a large and well-established interdisciplinary [[institute]] for social science research. It boasts members from the faculties of the departments of "[[Anthropology]], [[Economics]], [[History Department|History]], [[Political Science]], [[Psychology]], [[Sociology]], and [[Statistics]], as well as [the faculties] of [[Barnard College]], the [[Earth Institute]], [[Teachers College]], the [[Mailman School of Public Health]] and the [[GSAPP|Schools of Architecture, Planning and Preservation]], [[Business]], [[SIPA|International and Public Affairs]], [[Law]], and [[Social Work]]."<ref>[http://iserp.columbia.edu/about About | ISERP]. Accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> Its lineage goes back to the (now-defunct) Bureau for Applied Social Research, which was established in [[1944]]. It is located on the eighth floor of [[IAB]].

Because of its size and extensive interdisciplinarity, there's a non-trivial chance that if you're an undergraduate in a social science or a related field looking to work as a research assistant you'll end up employed by ISERP. It also offers an annual summer fellowship for undergraduates, which can be an excellent opportunity for students whose academic and career interests intersect with its mandate (see e.g. [[Jason Bello]]).

Columbia Daily Spectator

2009-02-22T22:13:53Z

Mch: /* Blogs */

[[Image:Spec-online.jpg|thumb|200px|Spec online logo]]

{{wp-also}}

The '''''Columbia Daily Spectator''''' is the daily newspaper of the university community and [[Morningside Heights]]. It is written by undergraduate students, who operate out of the Spectator office at 112th Street and [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]]. The paper is simply referred to as "the '''''Spec'''''." The paper is printed in broadsheet format every weekday during the academic term. It is delivered to over 150 locations throughout Morningside Heights and is read by over 10,000 people.

==History==

[[Image:Spec1968.jpg|thumb|''Spec'' front page during the [[1968 protests]] ]]

''Spec'' was founded in [[1877]] and is the second-oldest continually operating college news daily in the nation, after ''The Harvard Crimson''. It has been financially independent of the university since [[1962]].

===Turn to broadsheet===

Previously printed in tabloid format, in September [[2004]] the ''Spec'' started printing in broadsheet form. The editors at the time somehow thought they deserved to "move up" in the newspaper world, taking their place next to slightly more distinguished papers like the ''[[New York Times]]''. This move was distinctly against the grain; a large and increasing number of newspapers around the world are moving or have already moved to tabloid format, which is more popular especially with readers in cities.

Some students at Columbia agree that broadsheet newspapers are inconvenient and would like to see Spec return to tabloid format. Tabloid sized papers are conveniently hidden in notebooks if you're inclined to read in class. Other students believe that broadsheet format adds a dab of prestige to the ''Spec'' brand and allows it to stand up to its [[Ivy League]] peers.

===Recent spinoffs===
====La Página====
In [[2005]], the ''Spec'' started printing ''La Página'', a weekly flyer in Spanish with translations of some of the week's English content most relevant to neighborhood readers.

====Blogs====
In February [[2006]], the paper launched a series of blogs, aptly named [http://www.Specblogs.com SpecBlogs]. These blogs soon became defunct. Another blogging effort, launched in October [[2006]] to cover the 2006 midterm elections, proved more successful. In December of [[2007]], they launched yet another blog, this time specific to the Opinion page, called "The Steps". Those blogs are now also defunct. However, SpecBlogs.com recently has been revived, and the current repertoire of SpecBlogs includes [[Commentariat]], Spectacle, and The Editors Notes.

Spec's blogs have frequently been mocked by [[The Bwog]] as the "Splogs".

A recurring blog on ''Spec'''s website during [[housing lottery]] season, since [[2007]], has been the housing blog [[The Shaft]].

====The Eye====
In September [[2006]], ''Spectator'' staff launched ''[[The Eye]]'', a weekly magazine featuring investigative pieces and commentary on Columbia and [[NYC]]. The goal of starting The Eye was to provide a platform much of the feature writing that [[Speccie]]s did for [[The Blue and White]] in addition to topics that had no previous coverage. The name of ''The Eye'' relates both to the fact that one "spectates" with it and urban theorist Jane Jacobs' notion that "eyes on the street" help keep neighborhoods safe.

==Organization==
The ''Spec'' is currently run by the 133rd managing board.

Writing and non-writing departments are each headed by an editor, and are overseen by the editor-in-chief. Writing departments include campus news, city news, sports, arts and entertainment, and opinion. Non-writing departments include photography, new media, production, copy, and business. The business department is headed by the publisher, and it has several sub-departments, each headed by a director.

First-time writers at Columbia begin their time at the paper with a 1- to 2-month trial period, during which they learn the basics of writing an article and publish their first articles. When their department editor sees fit, they become staff writers. Each November and December, students run for positions at the paper, a grueling process that takes nearly a month. They begin by "shadowing," or sitting with the current editors or associate editors and learning the editing process. Next they write proposals for their desired position. The students then take an editing test made up by their department editor that tests them on the fundamentals of editing. Finally, they go through the "[[:w:Turkey Shoot|Turkey Shoot]]," an interview in which the current managing board grills the applicant on why he feels he would be a good fit for the position. The results of the application process, including the new managing board are announced in mid-December, the weekend before finals.

Mch:

[[Image:IAB.jpg|thumb|240px|International Affairs Building]]
[[Image:IABSketch.jpg|thumb|240px|An artist's sketch of IAB]]

The '''International Affairs Building''' or '''IAB''' is known as the home of the [[School of International and Public Affairs]] (SIPA) but also used by the [[Political Science Department]] and the [[Economics Department]], along with several faculty research institutes (such as [[ISERP]]), primarily associated with [[regional studies]]. [[Lehman Library]], one of the two [[Language Resource Center | Language Resource Centers]], and [[Alice's International Cafe]] are located here, along with a 24-hour lounge on the sixth floor.

All of this makes IAB a very crowded building. One SIPA student has observed that being in IAB across the plaza from the [[law school]] was like "living in Mexico on the border of the U.S."<ref>[http://columbiaspectator.com/?q=node/24495 SIPA Dean Holds Final Town Hall - The Spectator March 27, 2007]</ref>

==Layout and features==

IAB has two main entrances: one on the fourth floor (confusingly, street level), and one on the sixth floor (confusingly, campus level). One can only move between its two main lobbies via the annoying elevators (see below) or ugly emergency stairs.

The fourth floor features most of the building's services, including a copy shop, the SIPA careers office, and a grand lobby space bedecked in international flags. An outdoor courtyard formed from a sunken hole in the plaza two stories above is a popular gathering place for smokers, and features a bizarre glass bubble centerpiece.

[[417 IAB]], also known as the Altschul Auditorium, is one of the largest lecture halls on campus and is the location for a number of the most popular undergraduate courses.

Lehman Library is located in the building's basement and is reachable via a grand staircase extending from the fourth floor lobby.

The sixth floor features Alice's International Cafe and a room which became SIPA's administrative offices, but which was formerly named the Dag Hammarskjold Lounge, after the former UN Secretary General.

The top floor of IAB is undoubtedly its grandest, featuring the [[Kellogg Conference Center]], an events room with a sweeping view over [[Central Park]] and the [[New York City]] skyline.

===Those goddamn elevators===

Many people know and loathe the IAB elevators, a bank of four cramped, outrageously slow machines that are often covered over in cardboard to make them run properly. According to Political Science professor [[Robert Amdur]], [[Grayson Kirk]], president of the university during the IAB's construction, would brag to his friends about how he'd saved a fortune in the building's quick construction by buying elevators from a dirt-cheap supplier rather than an industrial leader like Otis. Amongst other things President Kirk did (like propose that [[1968 protests|gym in Morningside Park]]), this one makes him one of Columbia's least-favorite presidents, especially amongst the econ and poli sci majors who often simply walk the thirteen flights of stairs needed to get to their departments rather than rely on "Grayson's Folly."

==Trivia==

At one point, was purportedly slated to be named "Noble Hall".

It boasts members from the faculties of the departments of "Anthropology, Economics, History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Statistics, as well as [the faculties] of Barnard College, the Earth Institute, Teachers College, the Mailman School of Public Health and the Schools of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Business, International and Public Affairs, Law, and Social Work."<ref>[http://iserp.columbia.edu/about About | ISERP]. Accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> Its lineage goes back to the Bureau for Applied Social Research, which was established in 1944. It is located on the eighth floor of [[IAB]].

Because of its size and extensive interdisciplinarity, there's a non-trivial chance that if you're an undergraduate in a social science or a related field looking to work as a research assistant you'll end up employed by ISERP. It also offers an annual summer fellowship for undergraduates, which can be an excellent opportunity for students whose academic and career interests intersect with its mandate (see e.g. [[Jason Bello]]).

Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies

Mch:

The '''Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies''', commonly referred to as the '''Saltzman Institute''' or '''SIWPS''', is a research institute affiliated with [[SIPA]] and the [[Political Science Department]] whose founding mission is to understand the "disastrous consequences of war upon man's spiritual, intellectual, and material progress."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/index.htm Saltzman Institute homepage], accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> It was founded as the Institute of War and Peace Studies in 1951 during [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]'s tenure as president of Columbia, and renamed in 2003 after Columbia alum [[Arnold A. Saltzman]] (CC '36), a diplomat.<ref>Moore, Katie. [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/archives/vol28/vol28_iss13/Pg7-2813.pdf "Columbia’s Institute of War and Peace Studies Named for Arnold A. Saltzman."] ''Columbia University Record''. April 25, 2003.</ref>

As the Institute's website says, from the beginning it has "interpreted its role broadly," and today it takes its mission to be to probe "the political, military, historical, legal, economic, moral, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of international relations."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/index.htm Saltzman Institute homepage], accessed 02/22/2009.</ref> Fittingly, then, its members contribute broadly and quite prominently to scholarship and policymaking in international relations, foreign policy, security studies, and related fields.

A number of the most noted scholars of international relations theory are associated with the Saltzman Institute, including [[Kenneth Waltz]], the founder of the school called ''neorealism'', and [[Robert Jervis]]. Its current director is [[Richard Betts]].
