Proposal for a new Undergraduate Honours Degree Program:
B. A. Honours in Global Politics
(Commencement date: Academic Year 2008-2009)
Submitted by: Department of Political Science,
Faculty of Public Affairs, Carleton University
1. Objectives
The objectives of the program are:
 to enable exceptional students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for informed assessment of and participation in global politics
 to provide Canada and the international community with wellinformed citizens, officials and decision-makers
 to enhance Carleton University’s undergraduate profile by adding a stand alone Bachelor’s program in a subject area that highlights one of Carleton’s comparative strengths and complements existing programs
 to deepen the pool of high quality applicants to Carleton University
 to establish a flagship undergraduate degree for the Department of
Political Science
 to maintain the Department’s existing competitive advantage with respect to its competitors in offering high quality, specialized degrees in areas of growing interests to students
Mission statement . This program seeks to produce students with an outstanding knowledge of global politics that places a specialized disciplinary emphasis upon understanding the interactions between global political dynamics and regional or areaspecific features of organized political societies. This knowledge will be deepened and extended through participation in organizations or institutions (governmental or nongovernmental) active either at the regional or global level. To achieve this, students will have to develop critical analytical skills including qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, acquire knowledge of the special challenges posed by global and comparative politics, be able to function in a multilingual environment, have the capacity to work both independently and in teams, and be able to communicate ideas and advance arguments to the highest oral and written standards.
These skills will be achieved by pursuing a course of study that builds on some elements of the existing honours program in Political Science and adds important new elements at the first, third and fourth years. Students will choose their Program courses from a basket of options that spans select international relations, international political economy,

2 security, international institutions and human rights courses, comparative politics and area studies.
Consistency of the program . There is a strong case to be made for Departments to play to their strengths in attracting high quality candidates for a flagship program, which reflects well both on the Department but also on the entire University. By combining two of the strongest elements of this Department’s areas of expertise – international relations and comparative politics – this program offers to suitable students a uniquely focused subject while also sharpening the varied skills which any graduate needs further their career and make an solid contribution to the world after completion of their undergraduate studies.
In devising this degree, we have steered clear of overlapping with other programs whose strengths and attractions lie either in the emphasis on policy or on inter-disciplinary study
(or both). This degree anchors its prime attraction for students solidly in the Department of Political Science, and in the areas of international relations and comparative politics that the vast majority of students declare anyway for their degree (when they do declare).
It therefore builds on the strengths of Political Science, and by carving out a flagship program should deepen and extend the applicant pool at the high end for Carleton as a whole.
This program seems to fit most closely with the B.A. Honours Specialization degree as it appears in Template for the New B.A. Degrees . However, it differs from the template in that the total number of credits in the Major range from a minumum 10.5 (9.5 for
Combined Honours) to a maximum of 15, while the corresponding figures in the template are 12 and 15, with no Combined Honours).

2.4 Program Language Requirement
See Program Language Requirement under item 2.2.
2.5 Summary of Program Features
The new elements are the first year seminar, a new course put on in the first semester of the third year on ‘Themes in Global and Comparative Politics’, the internship in the second semester of the third year, and the honours seminar in the fourth year. Each of these new elements will be open only to participation by students in the program, and will help to develop the esprit de corps that will be one of the hallmarks of this flagship program.
The first year seminar will bring these students together for the first time, and introduce them to the theories, concepts and issues in global politics. Topics will include conflict and intervention, peace and security, international institutions, norms and ethics, human rights, gender, culture, and globalization. The second term is an introduction to the global political economy. Topics will include contemporary changes in the global political economy, multinational corporations, foreign economic policy, global and regional economic institutions, environmental issues, international development and relations between rich and poor countries. The first year seminar will contain the content of the existing second year lecture courses, PSCI 2601 (International Relations: Global Politics) and PSCI 2602 (International Relations: Global Political Economy).
The pedagogy of the seminar will parallel that of the university’s first year seminar program: 1. The seminar will be interactive, and will provide frequent and early evaluation . 2. The instructor will provide extensive consultation, advising and mentoring. 3. The seminar will focus on close analysis of texts. 4. The seminar will help students learn to work in groups/as teams in and out of class, and to benefit from peer interaction in a ‘social and intellectual home'.
5. The seminar will help students integrate their learning via a culminating project/essay with careful guidance through the phases of development.
The third year seminar on ‘Themes in Global and Comparative Politics’ will focus on a broad theme or issue that includes a global and comparative focus. Students would gain in-depth knowledge of the global and regional/comparative dynamics of interest to a tenured faculty member with special teaching and research interests in the theme of the course. In the seminar students would write a research paper related to the theme of the course, on a topic that relates to their particular interest, whether it is security, gender, global political economy, etc. This paper could focus on a global or comparative perspective, or combine the two.
Also in the third year is the internship program, a key part of the new B.A. Hons.G.P.
The semester-long internship program for students is scheduled for the second half of students’ third year. The internship will be a key attraction to students on this program, and ideally it should be offered among a select number of international or regional, governmental or non-governmental organizations. These may include organizations such as the World Bank (political economy), NATO or OSCE (security), UNDP

9
(development), WHO (health), UNHCR (human rights), IAEA (nuclear proliferation), a suitable regional organization such as the OAS, or a select non-governmental organization in Canada or abroad that deals with a topic, issue or problem that is international, regional or comparative in nature. Internship in a Canadian government department with an international decision-making mandate is also a possibility (e.g.
DFAIT, CIDA, etc). The internship will be unpaid.
The goal of the internship is for students to obtain real world experience working on substantive issues. All participating organizations will sign an agreement indicating their responsibilities. The organizations will agree that interns will participate in an active manner on substantive issues relating to the organization, and not be relegated to clerical work. Students will have to submit a substantial independent report on one aspect of their internship in order to receive credit for this part of the program. This report will be given a letter grade by a committee of the teaching faculty in the program. Participating organizations will recognize that some of the intern’s duties (constituting approximately
25% of work time) will be allocated to preparing this report. Finally, completion of this portion of the program will also require a satisfactory report from the participating institution.
The internship is not required to successfully complete the degree program in Global
Politics. To be eligible for the 3 rd
year internship, students in the program must attain at least an 8.0 pt. average in their major courses by the end of their second year (i.e. after 8-
10 credits). In place of the internship, ineligible students would take 2.5 credits in other courses in the Global Politics list. Other students, who meet the minimum standards for participating in the internship program, may opt out of participation upon request. They also would take 2.5 credits in other courses in the Global Politics list.
The fourth year honours seminar will be the seminar in which students in the program complete their honours essay. A dedicated full-time faculty member whose research embraces global and or comparative politics will teach it, and the seminar will provide a forum in which the knowledge and skills gained thus far in the program will be channelled into a major piece of independent research on a topic chosen in consultation with their supervisor and course director. The grade for the course will be mainly the grade awarded to the honours essay. The honours essay is optional, and students may take in its place a different 4 th
year honours seminar. To qualify for the honours essay, students must have at least a B+ average in GP courses, or obtain permission from the
Department.
3. Academic Merit and Program Delivery
3.1 Admission Requirements . The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent including a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M courses. Equivalent courses may be substituted between the OAC and new curriculum courses. Entrance to the program will be limited to students with grades in high school at a minimum of 80, although the intent of the program is attract a cohort of students whose average approaches 90.
Enrolment will be limited to between 25 students in the first couple of years, rising

10 possibly to 50 or more once the program is suitably established. Resources, obviously, will limit growth in admissions but also the constraints of the proposed semester-long mandatory internship program in the 3 rd year.
If space is available, students may apply to transfer into the program after the first and possibly second year provided they would be able to complete all the requirements by the end of their fourth year (PSCI 2601 and 2602 could be substituted for GPOL 1000). Late admission to the program will be at the discretion of the Department.
In order to meet the objectives of the program, the structure and curriculum of the program introduces second year material to students in the first year in order to develop students at an early stage, as well as to open up space in the second year to take courses normally taken in the third year. The new elements in the third and four years – the new seminar, the internship and the honours essay seminar – are designed to provide a special learning environment in the upper years of the program. To facilitate reaching program objectives the mode of delivery will involve a more intense use of seminars, at the first and third year levels, and the semester-long internship, in addition to normal lecture courses in the second and third years. The more intense use of seminar courses and the evaluation of the major paper that students write as part of their internship will facilitate the evaluation of students’ progress through the program.
3.2 Availability of faculty . The Department of Political Science ranks near the top of political science departments across the country. At present 32 faculty members of the department are in either or both of the department’s field groups of international relations and comparative politics (see Appendix D. for list of these faculty). These professors teach the approximately 85 courses in international relations and comparative politics that the department offers on a rotating basis. Professors teach in those areas in which they have teaching and research interest and competence. The need for additional faculty is addressed in 6.1 Human and Material Resources .
4. Demand and Impact
4.1 Student Demand. The extent of student demand for this program can be demonstrated in several ways. Already, the brunt of the department’s existing program focuses on international relations and comparative politics: about two-thirds of existing courses in the department are classified as either international relations or comparative politics. At the fourth year level, where students can opt for a concentration in any one of seven areas, about eighty percent opt for concentrations in either international relations or comparative politics. Available data on course and program enrolments, past, current and projected in the area can be found in Appendix B.
5. Consultation
See Appendix C (Consultation).
6. Resource Requirements and Availability

11
6.1 Human and Material Resources
 Academic and non-academic staffing. Most of the courses in the program will be taught by existing members of the department (see Section 3.2.) However, new resources will be needed to mount this program. There are 2.5 new course equivalents in the program, plus compensation is needed for supervising the program, evaluating the major papers from the semester-long internships and advising students within the program. The setting up of the internship program – locating and working with the appropriate organizations and then matching them to students -- will be very labour intensive. To implement the new program, one new faculty member would be needed.
 Space allocation. Offices will be needed for the new professor and the new administrator.
Classrooms. Almost all of the courses currently exist. Three additional seminar courses will be added, for which classroom space will be needed.


Administrative support. For the administration of the program, one new administrative position would be needed. This person would be responsible, in addition to the general administration requirements of the program, to carry out the time-consuming tasks associated with the running of the internship program.
Equipment and supplies. Photocopying, stationery, office supplies: $1000
 Implications for instructional support depts (CCS; Instructional Media Services, etc.) There are no financial implications for other support services at Carleton.

Statement Comparing Available Required Resources with Additional Required
Resources
Most of the resources to offer the program are already available with the 34 members of the department from the International Relations and Comparative Politics groups. The statement of addition required resources is presented in 7.3 Costs.
7 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 Income Implications:

12
The B.A.Hons. G.P. will attract new students to Carleton, bringing additional revenue to the university (in the form of tuition). While some of these students may have chosen
Carleton anyway, the attractiveness of the program will garner additional highlymotivated students who may well have decided upon other universities. We anticipate, moreover, that the prestige of the program will throw additional light on the department, attracting students who would not qualify for the program but would for the Honours degree in Political Science. Because the pool of these students exceeds that of the pool from which the program will draw, we anticipate the enrolment effects of the new program will be even greater for the general honours program in the Department and in
University as the whole (as a number of these students will end up in departments other than Political Science).
Part of the attraction of the new program will be that no other disciplinary undergraduate degree program in global politics exists in the province or in the rest of Canada. There are interdisciplinary programs in international relations, such as the one at the Munk Centre at the University of Toronto, but these combine courses from several distinct disciplines.
Similarly, the B.P.A.P.M.at Carleton offers an interdisciplinary program in which international studies is one of several available specializations.

CARLETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Memorandum
Date: February 14, 2007
To: Laura Macdonald, Chair, Department of Political Science
From: Wendy Sinclair, Subject Specialist Political Science
and Laurie Campbell, Gifts and Collections Librarian
Subject: Library Support Statement for Bachelor of Global Politics
Collection Support
Carleton University Library’s print and electronic resources, augmented by journal delivery and interlibrary loan services strongly support Carleton’s program proposal for
Bachelor of Global Politics. Support for the program comes from the Library’s

16 comprehensive collections in Political Science and International Relations. The Library also has strong collections in Gender Studies, Human Rights, Peace and Security,
Development, Environmental Studies and Political Economy to provide additional support.
Acquisitions
The Library has an excellent monograph collection and major additional purchases will not be required.
Serials
Carleton University Library has made the transition from print to electronic journals. The
Library has access to over 36,000 electronic full-text journals. The Library has developed a strong electronic journal collection through individual subscriptions, and participating in several consortia: Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN),
Consortia Canada and the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL). The Library has free access to a collection of core digital resources negotiated by Knowledge Ontario.
Products acquired by Carleton University Library include:

Blackwell Synergy Journals Online

Cambridge University Press

JSTOR: Arts and Science I-IV

Oxford University Press (including archival collections)

Taylor & Francis
The majority of the Library’s electronic journal packages are available through Scholars
Portal Search, an OCUL initiative that provides a common interface for searching many journals and a variety of indexes published by major distributors and presses. SFX provides direct links from the databases to the Library catalogue.
Research Assistance
Reference support for the proposed Bachelor in Global Politics will be provided by the Subject Specialist for Political Science. The subject specialist compiles research guides to print and online resources, conducts research seminars, gives research assistance to students and faculty and provides bibliographic instruction to students in research skills and electronic resources.
Students and faculty may also receive consultative assistance from the Maps, Data and
Government Information Centre, the Data Centre, and Special Collections.
Access to Campus Resources :
The majority of Carleton University Library’s online products are available from more than 172 workstations, and through the Carleton network accessible in computer labs and offices across campus, as well as from off-campus via the proxy server. These reference databases are accessible free of charge to Carleton users. Wireless access in the Library and selected locations on campus now provides students and faculty with greater access to the Library’s electronic resources.

17
The Library’s online system (Millennium from Innovative) provides a user-friendly Webbased online public access catalogue, which allows for focused sophisticated search techniques and the ability to search multiple library catalogues at one time. The Library
Web site provides links to journal indexes, articles, and full-text electronic resources.
The Library is committed to collection development and management, as well as to resource sharing. Staff will pursue every means possible to continue the Library’s strong support to the proposed Bachelor in Global Politics. c.c. Margaret Haines, University Librarian

Appendix D. Letter to organizations concerning the placement of students
The Department of Political Science is proposing a new degree program in Global
Politics. This program will enable exceptional students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for informed assessment of and participation in global politics. It seeks to produce students with an outstanding knowledge of global politics that places a specialized disciplinary emphasis upon understanding the interactions between global political dynamics and regional or area-specific features of organized political societies.
We are writing to your organization because a very important part of the program is a semester-long intership in the student’s third year. The internship will provide students with the opportunity to work with and study an organization, such as yours, whose institutional focus is on some international or regional aspect. The internship will be a key attraction to students in this program. Participating organizations will use these students in a research or other organizational capacity that will benefit both the organization and the student. The internships are non-paying and the students will receive
2.5 credits for their participation. During the semester, students will write a research paper on a topic related either to the organization or to the focus of the organization.
These papers will be graded by a faculty member related to the B.A. Hons. G.P. program.
At this time, we are not asking for a commitment from your organization to participate in the program, but we would like to know if you have an interest in participating. The calibre of students should be very high as this program will be a limited entry. We would expect that the students will work approximately four days per week with the organization. The time line is such that the first students to participate in the internship would be in the January-March period of 2010 or 2011.
If you have any questions, please contact me (613 520 7414, laura_macdonald@carleton.ca
). We look forward to hearing from you.
