Course Description and Goals
Full course for one semester. This course investigates the origins and effects of the spread of nuclear weapons at international
and domestic levels. It begins with a discussion of the morality of nuclear weapons, the motives different states have
for obtaining them, and the problems with intelligence on states’ progress. It continues with asking what nuclear
strategies have been and should be used, then moves to social constructivist critiques of conventional understandings of
nuclear weapons as well as debates over the safety of such weapons. The latter half of the class concentrates on case
studies of a variety of programs, including Iran and North Korea as well as proliferation networks and terrorism.
Conference.
Requirements
Readings
Readings for the course will be loaded by the students onto their iPads. All students are expected to have an understanding of all of the
readings. The syllabus will be updated frequently.
Course Website
Discussion and collaboration is available to you through the website; supplemental and core readings will be made available there; and
assignments will be turned in electronically using the site.
Assignments
There is one assignment for this course, a lengthy (2500-5000 word) essay analyzing anything related to nuclear politics; it is due on
Wednesday, December 8 at 11:59 PM.
Citation and Plagiarism
A major goal of this course is to encourage good reading, research, and citation habits. Good research requires good documentation of
sources and the ability to put one’s own analysis and thoughts into a paper rather than relying on others. When in doubt as to whether
you should cite something, always do it. Citations are required for ideas as well as facts, and are imperative even if you are not directly
quoting authors. Make sure that you provide as specific a citation as possible; if an author discusses an idea in one
section or one page, cite the specific section or page instead of the full article or book. I usually recommend that
students use in-text author-date citation with full Chicago Manual of Style citations; see their Citation Quick Guide: <http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools˙citationguide.html>.
However, style is less important than the cites being present. If you use an idea or a fact without attribution, you are plagiarizing
someone else’s work. Plagiarism and cheating are violations of academic integrity and thus violations of Reed’s Honor Principle. As
specified by Reed’s academic conduct policy, such violations will result in disciplinary actions, including suspension or permanent
dismissal from the College. Plagiarism is submitting a piece of work which in part or in whole is not entirely the student’s
own work without attributing those same portions to their correct source. For examples of plagiarism and how to
avoid it, see <http://www.csub.edu/ssric-trd/howto/plagiarism.htm> For more information on Reed’s policies see: <http://www.reed.edu/academic/gbook/comm˙pol/acad˙conduct.html>.
