2ork Ti!es. Washington Post. &hristian Science Monitor. and ,cono!ist !aga$ine)
-rticles are due the week "efore the week !ou ha'e selected. Thus, if !ou selected class 11 #on ethnic conflict in
Iigeria&, !ou should "ring copies of an article that discusses ethnic conflict and deocrati,ation in the de'eloping
world to class 1%. Me sure to "ring enough copies for e'er!one in the class. -lso, "e prepared to suari,e and critique
!our article for the "enefit of the class in the week in which !our article will "e discussed.
Class De(ates )Class * and Class +,-
The class will include two in3class de"ates, one in class 0 and one in class 1%. The first will address the issue of
whether deocrac! atters, and students will "e e$pected to present one of se'eral points of 'iew #descri"ed in class
/&. -t the "eginning of class 0, we will choose at rando one speaker fro each side, who will ake "rief oral
presentations of their position on the de"ate question. ?ach presentation is liited to 2 inutes, and we will strictl!
enforce the tie. - general class discussion will take place after each tea has presented its position, and students not
chosen to ake foral presentations should direct questions to the different de"aters. -t the end of the de"ate, a 'ote
will "e taken to deterine which position seeed ost persuasi'e.
The second de"ate will address the issue of transitional +ustice 3 specificall!, whether or not to punish ilitar! officers
in Mra,il for 'iolations of huan rights coitted during the period of ilitar! dictatorship #1=4031=>0&. 8e will
di'ide the class into three teas #those arguing that Mra,il<s ilitar! rulers should ha'e "een tried in 1=>2, those
arguing that the! should "e tried now, and those arguing that the! should not "e tried&. The first speaker fro each tea
will ake a two3inute opening stateent la!ing out her tea<s o'erall position. The second speaker fro each tea
will then ha'e two inutes to re"ut the arguents ade "! the other teas. The third speaker fro each tea will then
"e allowed four inutes to cross3e$aine her counterparts on either opposing tea, who ust defend his tea<s
position with "rief and direct replies. The fourth speaker on each tea will then suari,e her tea<s arguents,
addressing an! weaknesses that ha'e "een e$posed and pointing out weaknesses in the other tea<s positions. (lease
note that we will tie each presentation strictl!, so that !ou should prepare and practice !our coents in ad'ance as
uch as possi"le. )n ost cases, this will require anticipating the strengths and weaknesses of each side of the de"ate.
-fter the presentations, the +udges will 'ote "! secret "allot for #1& which side ade the "est case, and #2& which
indi'idual speaker did the "est +o" presenting her case. :inall!, the whole class will 'ote on which strateg! Mra,il<s

. /ort )0 page- 1riting Assignments
Topics will "e handed out one or two weeks "efore the papers are due. (apers are due "! 0 p.. three da!s after the
class for the week the! are listed. (apers should "e t!ped, dou"le3spaced, and full! referenced. Late papers will "e
penali,ed one third of a grade #e.g., fro - to -3& for each da! late.
8e prefer to practice "lind grading, so please put !our nae on a separate sheet at the end of the paper. -t the risk of
stifling free e$pression, we also ask that !ou use Ties 12 font #or the closest equi'alent on !our coputer&. Atherwise,
we learn font st!les after the first paper, which defeats the purpose of "lind grading.
