The Arab uprisings of 2010/2011 brought renewed attention to the power of ordinary citizens to collectively overthrow their governments. This course introduces theories of collective action, resistance, protest, and revolutions. It addresses the following questions: How do aggrieved citizens make claims against their governments, especially in non-democratic contexts? When and why do people act collectively to make those claims? How do governments respond to various forms of protest? What constitutes a revolution? Why do some succeed and others fail? We pay particular attention to different forms of workers’ mobilization and to the role of labor and other social classes in revolutions. Cases will be drawn from around the world, including the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Fulfills the ILR Advanced Writing Requirement. Enrollment is restricted to sophomores or others with permission who have not satisfied their ILR Advanced Writing Requirement.

This course introduces students to the history, evolution and trajectory of state-labor relations, labor activism, and the politics of unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). As the region with the highest concentration of non-democratic regimes in the world, the MENA provides a rich context for examining state efforts to control interest representation, and workers’ struggles for freedom of association. In addition, the region features diverse political economic systems, making it ideal for examining the interaction between resource endowments and labor market dynamics. Finally, the region is ripe for the study of youth activism and the mobilization of the unemployed given that youth unemployment rates are higher in the MENA than any other world region.

This course examines popular constructions of “race” and how they inform labor and inequality in a variety of national contexts. Assigned course materials deal with the national history out of which contemporary understandings of race arise as well as power dynamics reflected in the maintenance and/or transformation of racial categories and how those power dynamics affect the nature of work, labor markets, and the distribution of social and economic resources. Some of the core questions addressed during this course are: How have racial categories and understandings about race changed over time? What are the common aspects of race and racial formation that cut across the selected nations? How are labor markets and occupations shaped and informed by race? Who sets the terms of racial inclusion/exclusion via the distribution of resources and what alternative understandings of racial membership are muted/silenced? How deep within these societies do racial understandings permeate? How do earlier racial inequalities persist in the distribution of social and economic resources?

How did European Colonialism change economic systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and to what extent? What role have trade unions and labor organizing played in the political development of post-colonial African societies? Does an expanding professional class in Sub-Saharan African societies help or hinder internal development? What role does migration play in the spread of labor markets and the professions?
