Readings WEEK 1 In this course, there are two types of readings: 1. Required readings: These are part of the official course materials. You will be tested on your knowledge and insight into the required readings in weeky quizzes and in the final exam. 2. Recommended readings: These are not part of the official course materials but are recommended for those of you who want to gain a deeper knowledge into the subjects of that week. You will not be tested on this material in the weekly quizzes or the final exam, but we still encourage you read some of this material. Please note that some of the recommended readings might not be open-access. They could be behind a pay-wall or in the case of books, you need to purchase them somewhere. These are just recommendations if you want to learn more but these are not required to pass the course. For ease of use we also provide the PDF's of the transcriptions of the lectures, in the languages currently available as subtitles (English and Spanish). They will be uploaded each time new lectures are released. Required Readings Keohane, Robert and Lisa Martin (1995): The Promise of Institutionalist Theory, International Security, 20, 1, 39-51.
