NEW BOOK FROM DR. KASSAB: “Self-Esteem, Altruism, and Power in Multipolarity”

by

The book asserts that state identities drive state motivations shaping state behavior. It describes several state motivations connected to self-esteem and identity: economic wealth, identity dominance through altruism, and controlling political outcomes for other states otherwise understood as decisionism. Part of this process is getting other states to acknowledge and recognize this self-image. As a result, self-esteem is at the core of state motivations, and seeks to connect the ideational with material reality.

REGISTRATION STARTS NEXT WEEK! SOME TIPS

by

First, familiarize yourself with your Degree Works record before you start to register. If you are new to Degree Works, you can find a brief introduction here: https://bit.ly/4cUbezI

Second, we strongly advise Political Science majors take the following classes in the following years/semesters:

  • Take the writing course (POLS 2090) in their second (sophomore) year (by the way, you should take this course before you take ENGL 2201)
  • Take POLS 3031 (Political Science Research Methods) in the fall of your junior year
  • For BS majors, POLS 3032 (Statistical Methods) should be taken in the spring of your junior year
  • Finally, if you are BS Pre-Law, look to take the pre-law concentration courses as early as possible.
