This is a course on power-sharing in deeply divided places. It will examine the circumstances in which federal and consociational institutions are proposed and implemented to regulate deep national, ethnic, religious or linguistic divisions. Case studies include such places as Iraq, Switzerland, Canada, India, and Belgium as federations, and Northern Ireland, Bosnia Herzegovina, Lebanon and Macedonia as consociational systems.

This seminar is taught in Washington D.C. for students enrolled in the Washington Semester Program. It includes an orientation to observation and research in the Washington Community and a major independent research project on the politics of governance.

Professionals - in business, medicine, law, and politics - face myriad ethical dilemmas in their daily work life that challenge, and sometimes conflict with, the moral commitments that guide their everyday life. This course systematically examines the ethical dimensions of these four professional roles, asking questions such as: Are there limits to what we should sell? How far should competitors go to "win"? Who should get ventilators in a flu pandemic? Is it morally permissible for physicians to assist in suicide? Should lawyers represent terrorists or child killers? How far does attorney-client privilege go? Is it morally justifiable to torture enemy combatants? Should politicians lie?
