Professor instructions:

Here is how to prepare for this generally:

Make sure that you are familiar with all of the major concepts we have covered in part 3 of the course. I have slides and videos on the web page recapping some of the key definitions, and the very well-written textbook has explanations throughout (as well as a glossary).

Here is how to prepare for the first part of the exam specifically:

In the first part of the exam, I will give you a list of eight terms. Choose any five of them, and give me a definition of the term and an example. The example must be a real example from international politics. For example, if I give you the term “autocracy” you would respond by writing something like “An autocracy is a political system in which rulers are chosen by a small number of people. For example, China is an autocracy because the leaders are chosen by a small group of party members rather than the people as a whole.” That would be a great answer, because it has a definition and a real-world politics example.

Here is how to prepare for the second part of the exam specifically:

In the second part of the exam, I will ask you two questions. Choose one of them to answer. Your answer should be in the form of an essay. A good answer will probably be about 3 to 5 paragraphs. Both questions will ask you some variation of the same question: I will describe for you a kind of progressive or regressive transfer and ask you to explain, using examples, why some countries choose to have that kind of transfer and others do not. In your answer, you will use at least two real world examples.
