Goals of the Course
Development is fundamentally related to the struggle over and distribution of scarce resources and important values which are essential for us to survive and realize “good lives.” Politics is everywhere and we are inevitably embedded in it however you hate it. People cannot live without interacting with others in seeking resources and values. To avoid the possible risk of bloody conflicts over resources and values, we need certain social orders. But what are models of desirable social order? What kinds of norms or standards should we rely on to create social order? How can diverse people reach an agreement? What are justice and fairness? How individual freedom and equalities can be balanced? To what degree, should coercion be tolerated by those who do not agree with a vision of social order? We do not have theories that everybody consents to. In this course, we will study various political thoughts, practices, and institutions which people have invented and developed to improve inequalities, tame conflicts and create a better society.
