Agenda Grades: Debate
Each student will participate in a 15 minute debate about one of the class topics. In groups you will be expected to do your own research and prepare a PPT presentation. Your presentation must include two different medias (images, music, video). You will be evaluated on your ability to convince your audience (who will vote on your abilities) as well as your preparation and analytical abilities. Each group would preapre the PRO (for) and CON (against)arguments. The topics will be chosen by a draw.

Do: - Search in legitimate sources (International Herald Tribune, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Le Monde, El Pais, CNN, MSNBC, France 24, NPR, RFI, etc) - Cite your sources
Don’t: - Copy and paste from your sources - Use Wikipedia as a source, it’s only a reference. The real information and analysis should come from legitimate sources.

One page position paper outlining your point of view for the simulation. The simulation will put us in a “real life” geopolitical situation in which you will have to react to the news and challenges of the day according to your assigned position. In order to establish your position you will have to do your own research based on current pres coverage of the subject matter. Some articles will be provided by the professor on the intranet site.

GEO POLITICS

- An approach to politics originating in late nineteenth century Germany that stressed the constraints imposed on foreign policy for location and environment, geopolitics contributed to the emphasis on continuity in modern political realism.

Agenda So what is geopolitics?
GÉOPOLITIQUE: La démarche géopolitique vise essentiellement à élucider les interactions entre les configurations spatiales et ce qui relève du politique. (1) Analyser la complexité de l’état du monde (suite à la guerre de Vietnam, les chocs pétroliers de 1973 et 1979, les guerres israélo-arabes, les guerres afghanes, l’islamisme radical…).

2) Pensées de la contention et le refoulement: une autre forme de récurrence de représentation géopolitiques à travers le siècle a trait à une lecture d’un monde structuré en puissances soit « maritimes » soit « continentales » à la suite de Halford Mackinder, Nicholas Spykman, George Kennan et de Zbignew Bzrezinski. Dans ce schéma on trouve aussi la contention/endiguement (containment) qui justifie la guerre de Vietnam. 3) Le simplisme des thèses civilisationnistes (l’Occident, le monde musulman, hindouiste, confucéen)-vision de Samuel Huntington.

4) Discours à la méthode et aide à la décision: La tache civique des spécialistes de l’analyse géopolitique est alors d’en éclairer les termes aux yeux des opinions et de diffuser les données objectives des débats, préalables aux décision collectives (eg. L’Union Européenne, son élargissement, la gestion de la crise, sa place dans le monde).
