Introduction Module Aims and Objectives

Aims

This course brings nationalism into the international arena by asking how ethnic groups and nations interact with supranational, transnational and global forces. The course begins by considering some of the constitutional tools which states can use to resolve ethnic conflict. The focus expands to consider the impact of ethnic and national identities on the foreign policies of states and examines the role of the international system, incorporating insights from international relations theory. It examines the effect of globalisation, Europeanisation, cosmopolitanism and post-modernisation and considers the nationalist backlash against these forces. It looks at trans-national religious movements and Political Islam, and asks how these intersect with ethnic and national currents. Next, it ponders some of the newer issues and problems that affect nationalism and religion, like the impact of demography.

Objectives

Students graduating from the course will be able to:

Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the dominant theories of ethnic conflict regulation

Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the dominant theories of ethnicity and nationalism in international context

Apply these theories to concrete historical and contemporary cases Demonstrate detailed substantive knowledge of national, ethnic and religious

forces and their international context in several settings Demonstrate cognitive skills, including critical evaluation and analytical

investigation Make presentations and engage in critical discussion

15. Conclusion and Review

Assessment Essay deadlines and assessment requirements Core Module Students Students taking this module as a core are assessed by examination and are, in addition required to submit one essay of 3,000 words in length including footnotes and bibliographic references. See below for a list of approved essay questions. Essays should be submitted on or before 2 December 2013. Please do not go beyond the maximum word limit; essays that breach this limit by more than 10% might have marks deducted or might not be marked at all. Marks for core module essays do not contribute towards final assessment, but their submission is a requirement for completing the module and you must achieve a pass mark of 50. Although they do not count towards the final mark, core module essays are extremely valuable. They enable us to monitor your progress, allow you an opportunity to receive feedback on your work, and give students returning to education an opportunity to adjust to the discipline of writing without jeopardising their final results. Option Module Students A three-hour unseen written examination will constitute 50% of the final assessment for an option module. The other 50% will be determined by a written assignment of 3,000-4,000 words in length including footnotes and bibliographic references. See below for a list of approved essay questions. Essays should be submitted on or before 24th February 2014. Please do not go beyond the maximum word limit; essays that breach this limit by more than 10% might have marks deducted or might not be marked at all. It is important to note that no student may pass an MSc/MRes option module in the Department of Politics if s/he fails either of the two required elements at 39% or below.

36

Essay Submission Students are required to submit their essays electronically via Moodle on or before the essay submission date. Please keep an electronic and hard backup of the essay for safekeeping. The Department endeavours to maintain anonymity for marking. Students are asked to complete a coursework cover sheet using their student number but not their name. This form should be cut and pasted onto the first page of their essay document. This file should also be saved using the student number rather than the student name (e.g. 12106999.doc). A coursework cover sheet is available at: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/politics/current-students/CoverSheet.doc Students are advised to use the Harvard system of referencing but other established systems are acceptable provided they are correctly and consistently employed. For guidance on how to reference books, journal articles…etc, see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/services/facilities/support/dissertations/ug-dissertations/referencing Late Submission College policy dictates how the Department treats work that is due for assessment but submitted after the submission deadline. Any piece of assessment that is submitted late and for which no application for consideration of mitigating circumstances (see below) has been accepted will be awarded a mark of no more than 50% for postgraduates and 40% for undergraduates. Where an assessment has not been submitted or attended and no application for consideration of mitigating circumstances has been accepted a mark of zero will be awarded. As a courtesy, you should tell your module seminar leader if you are going to submit an essay late. However, staff cannot give extensions. Exams The exam requires students to answer 3 essays in 3 hours from a choice of 11 questions. This method of assessment encourages and tests the development of subject-specific understanding and knowledge, skills of analysis, evaluation and problem solving, and encourages study across the breadth of the syllabus. It discourages plagiarism. Past exams are available at: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/elib/exam A practice (mock) examination session is scheduled for the spring term. You may choose to sit a practice exam for any module on which you are due to be examined in the summer. Students must register in advance. For details, please go to: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/politics/current-students/examinations/copy_of_index_html

37

The exam period is normally between April and June. The precise date will be decided by the College, not the Department, and will not be announced until the spring, usually in March. You will need to make sure that you are available during the full exam period since no alternative arrangements for sitting the exams can be made. In order to accommodate the number of exams set across the College, exams are taken during the working day. It will, therefore, be necessary for you to arrange time-off with your employer once the exam timetable is known.

Further information on studying at Birkbeck Teaching Arrangements and Attendance Regular attendance at lectures and seminars is essential. You should contact your lecturers and/or seminar leaders if you are unable to attend. See MyBirkbeck (www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck) for details about timetable and room location. During the year, please key an eye on My Birkbeck or the Moodle site for this module for details about changes to room location. Attendance at classes is compulsory. Students attending fewer than three quarters of their classes on all modules will not normally be permitted to register for the written examination(s) and thus will not be able to complete the degree. Availability of lecturers and seminar leaders Lecturers and seminar leaders are available to answer student queries about their work or to assist where students are experiencing difficulties relating to the subject matter covered during the module. They will let you know the best way of contacting them and when they are available to see you. Tutors As part of our programme of student support all undergraduate students are assigned to a personal tutor in their first year. Your tutor is available by appointment, and can offer advice and referrals for issues affecting student progress and wellbeing. Postgraduate students should feel free to approach the Director of their MSc or MRes programme about such issues. Birkbeck Library Although lectures and seminars are an essential element of the module, success in learning depends largely on the reading and research that is undertaken individually by students. Most items on the module reading lists are available via Moodle or in the Birkbeck Library, which is open seven days a week for most of the year. Essential items for modules can be found either in the Reading Room Collection of reference-only print books and photocopies, or will be made available electronically via Moodle. Information about the Library’s opening hours, layout and services, and access to the catalogue and electronic resources is available from the web site at: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/ As well as its physical holdings, the Library has a comprehensive range of electronic resources available from the eLibrary section of the web site, including thousands of electronic journals, specialist research databases (which tell you what has been

38

written on a topic or by a particular author) and exam papers, see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/elib The Library has an online tutorial called LIFE (Library Induction For Everyone) on accessing electronic journals and using other library facilities, see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/life/ For an overview of the Library’s resources for Politics, see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/subguides/socialscience/polsoc Library Materials by Post The LAMP Service (LibrAry Materials by Post) is a subscription-based service that enables you to have books and photocopies of articles posted to your home address. You may find it particularly useful if you are not able to visit the library frequently. For more details, see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/about/how/lamp

Birkbeck students with disabilities may be able to join the service for free on the recommendation of the College Disability Office. If you think you may be eligible for free membership, please first contact the Disability Office on Tel: 020 7631 6630 or email disability@bbk.ac.uk

Other Libraries In the course of your studies it is expected that you will use the research collections located near to Birkbeck. For further information, please see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/otherlibs/ Get Ahead: Stay Ahead. Studying at Birkbeck is undoubtedly challenging. The College’s Get Ahead: Stay Ahead programme will help you consider how you can achieve your goals, find out what studying at Birkbeck is like and improve your study skills through a range of online tutorials and events. For more details, please visit: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/get-ahead-stay-ahead Mitigating Circumstances The College Policy on Mitigating Circumstances determines how boards of examiners will treat assessment that has been affected by adverse circumstances. Mitigating circumstances are defined as unforeseen, unpreventable circumstances that significantly disrupt your academic performance, such as an illness or bereavement. If you wish mitigating circumstances to be taken into consideration, you should complete the mitigating circumstances form and submit it, with documentary evidence as appropriate, to your module administrator, normally within seven days of the published final assessment deadline or examination. The case will then be considered by the Mitigation Sub-committee of the relevant Board of Examiners. This is in confidence, and you may request that only the Chair of the panel has sight of your form. The mitigating circumstances form is available at: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/services/forms/mitigating_circumstances.doc The full mitigating circumstances procedure is available at:

http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/services/rules/mitcircspol.pdf Problems affecting Study If difficulties arise at work or with family, money, health or anything else that may affect your study, please let someone in the Department know, and we will do our best to help out. You are welcome to approach the director of your core or option module. If you wish to speak to a member of staff who is not teaching you, you might contact the Student Liaison Officer, Dr Barbara Zollner (barbara.zollner@bbk.ac.uk, 020 3073 8226) or the Head of the Department of Politics, Dr Deborah Mabbett (d.mabbett@bbk.ac.uk, 020 7631 6788). Alternatively, you might contact the Students’ Union welfare support (http://www.birkbeckunion.org/welfare/) or any of the College services listed on My Birkbeck (http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/) Disability Advice and Support At Birkbeck there are students with a wide range of disabilities including dyslexia, visual or hearing impairments, mobility difficulties, mental health needs, HIV, M.E., respiratory conditions etc. Many of them have benefited from the advice and support provided by the College’s disability service. Please see the Disability Office website for further details: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/services/facilities/disability/disability-office Learning Support Officer The Learning Support Officer for the School of Social Sciences, History and Philosophy, Helen Fuller, is available to undergraduate students who would like help with their study skills in areas such as: reading, note-taking, time management, writing and exam skills. She teaches a variety of workshops throughout the academic year and is also available for one-to-one tutorials. If you would like some extra help, or are worried about any aspect of your academic work, please do get in touch (h.fuller@bbk.ac.uk, tel: 020 7631 6693). Student feedback The Department believes that student feedback is important to the quality of its provision. It invites you to make your views known or to raise issues through the following formal channels:

Class Representatives are elected in the third week of the winter term. They represent the class in the Student’s Union and at the Student-Staff Exchange Meetings (see below), and can also approach the programme director or the Head of Department to raise issues on behalf of the class or individuals in the class.

Student-Staff exchange meetings are scheduled each term. All students are

welcome, and class representatives are expected to attend. SSEMs are scheduled to precede Department meetings so that Department staff can consider their responses to the concerns raised and report back to students on action taken.

A Module Evaluation Questionnaire is completed and submitted in the spring

term. Students are asked to comment on the module and the quality of

40

teaching. Responses are collated and summarised in a module review, presented by the module director to the Department Teaching and Learning Committee, where they are discussed. The module director examines the issues raised and identifies the follow-up action to be taken. A summary is presented by the Student Liaison Officer at the next Student-Staff Exchange Meeting.

Personal Tutors (undergraduate) and the Student Liaison Officer

(postgraduate) will communicate any concerns you have to the relevant tutor, teacher or administrator. This is a good way of giving feedback to us privately.

Students are also encouraged to convey any concerns or complaints they have

informally to module and programme directors or, if necessary, the Head of Department.

Annex: Birkbeck Plagiarism Guidelines Written by Birkbeck Registry and adapted for TSMB by Nicholas Keep What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is the most common form of examination offence encountered in universities, partly because of the emphasis now placed on work prepared by candidates unsupervised in their own time, but also because many students fall into it unintentionally, through ignorance of what constitutes plagiarism. Even if unintentional, it will still be considered an examination offence. This document, developed as guidelines to departments by Birkbeck Registry, is intended to explain clearly what plagiarism is, and how you can avoid it. Acknowledgement is made to guidance issued by the USA Modern Language Association (MLA, 1998). Plagiarism is the publication of borrowed thoughts as original, or in other words, passing off someone else’s work as your own. In any form, plagiarism is unacceptable in the Department, as it interferes with the proper assessment of students’ academic ability. Plagiarism has been defined as “the false assumption of authorship: the wrongful act of taking the product of another person’s mind, and presenting it as one’s own” (Lindey, 1952, p2). Therefore, using another person’s ideas or expressions or data in your writing without acknowledging the source is to plagiarise. Borrowing others’ words, ideas or data without acknowledgement. It is acceptable, in your work, to use the words and thoughts of another person or data that another person has gathered but the borrowed material must not appear to be your creation. This includes essays, practical and research reports written by other students including those from previous years, whether you have their permission or not. It also applies to both ‘hard-copy’ material and electronic material, such as Internet documents. Examples include copying someone else’s form of words, or paraphrasing another’s argument, presenting someone else’s data or line of thinking. This form of plagiarism may often be unintentional, caused by making notes from sources such as books or journals without also noting the source, and then repeating those notes in an essay without acknowledging that they are the data, words or ideas belonging to someone else. Guard against this by keeping careful notes that distinguish between

41

your own ideas and researched material and those you obtained from others. Then acknowledge the source. Example 1 Original source: To work as part of a team, to be able and prepared to continue to learn throughout one’s career, and, most important, to take on board both care for the individual and the community, are essential aspects of a doctor’s role today. Greengross, Sally (1997), “What Patients want from their Doctors”, Choosing Tomorrow’s Doctors, ed. Allen I, Brown PJ, Hughes P, Policy Studies Institute, London. Plagiarism: The essential aspects of a doctor’s role today are to work as part of a team, be able and prepared to continue to learn throughout one’s career, and, most importantly, to take on board both care for the individual and the community. Acceptable: One social writer believes that the essential aspects of a doctor’s role today are to work as part of a team, be able and prepared to continue to learn throughout one’s career, and, most importantly, to take on board both care for the individual and the community (Greengross, 1997). Example 2 Original source: The binary shape of British higher education, until 1992, suggested a simple and misleading, dichotomy of institutions. […] Within their respective classes, universities and polytechnics were imagined to be essentially homogeneous. Their actual diversity was disguised. [….] The abandonment of the binary system, whether or not it encourages future convergence, highlights the pluralism which already exists in British Higher Education. Scott, Peter (1995), The Meanings of Mass Higher Education, SRHE and Open University Press, Buckingham, p43. Plagiarism: Prior to the removal of the binary divide between polytechnics and universities in 1992, there was a misleading appearance of homogeneity in each sector. Now there is only one sector, the diversity of institutions is more apparent, even if convergence may be where we’re heading. Acceptable:

42

Peter Scott has argued that prior to the removal of the binary divide between polytechnics and universities in 1992, there was a misleading appearance of homogeneity in each sector. Now there is only one sector, the diversity of institutions is more apparent, even if convergence may be where we’re heading. (Scott, 1994) In each revision, the inclusion of the author’s name acknowledges whose ideas these originally were (not the student’s) and the reference refers the reader to the full location of the work when combined with a footnote or bibliography. Note that in the second example, the argument was paraphrased – but even so, this is plagiarism of the idea without acknowledgement of whose idea this really is. In writing any work, therefore (whether for assessment or not) you should document everything that you borrow – not only direct quotations and paraphrases but also information and ideas. There are, of course, some common-sense exceptions to this, such as familiar proverbs, well-known quotations or common knowledge. But you must indicate the source of any appropriated material that readers might otherwise mistake for your own. If in doubt, cite your source or sources. Copying material verbatim Another example of plagiarism is the verbatim copying of chunks of material from another source without acknowledgement even where they are accepted facts, because you are still borrowing the phrasing and the order and the idea that this is a correct and complete list. Also, you might be infringing copyright (see below). For example if you wrote based on example 2 above ‘The binary shape of British higher education, until 1992, suggested a simple and misleading, dichotomy of institutions. (Scott, 1995)’ then this still could be regarded as plagiarism as you used his exact words. It is important to rephrase the ideas in your own words, to show that you understand them while still acknowledging the source. Re-submission of work Another form of plagiarism is submitting work you previously submitted before for another assignment. While this is obviously not the same as representing someone else’s ideas as your own, it is a form of self-plagiarism and is another form of cheating. If you want to re-work a paper for an assignment, ask your lecture whether this is acceptable, and acknowledge your re-working in a preface. Collaboration and collusion In collaborative work (if this is permitted by the lecturer) joint participation in research and writing does not constitute plagiarism in itself, provided that credit is given for all contributions. One way would be to state in a preface who did what; another, if roles and contributions were merged and truly shared, would be to acknowledge all concerned equally. However, where collaborative projects are allowed, it is usually a requirement that each individual’s contribution and work is distinguishable, so check with your lecturer. Usually, collusion with another candidate on assessed work (such as sharing chunks of writing or copying bits from each other) is not allowed. Copyright infringement Finally, you must guard against copyright infringement. Even if you acknowledge the source, reproducing a significant portion of any document (including material on the Internet) without permission is a breach of copyright, and a legal offence. You may

43

summarise, paraphrase and make brief quotations (as I have done from my sources), but more than this risks infringing copyright.

Annex: Assessment criteria Essays are assessed using the following criteria (not in order of importance): Answering the question: the extent to which the work has dealt directly and

clearly with the assigned task and provided a focused answer to the particular intellectual problem posed.

Structure: the extent to which the work demonstrates coherent organization of the material and an overall argument that proceeds logically from introduction to conclusion.

Conceptual clarity: the extent to which the work has understood key terms and concepts, defined ambiguous terms, and employed them correctly.

Analytic Content: the extent to which the work provides a critical analysis of the problem that evaluates competing arguments and interpretations rather than a purely descriptive or narrative discussion.

Literature: the extent to which the work demonstrates familiarity with, and command of, the relevant scholarly writings on the subject to which the work is addressed.

Evidence and Examples: the extent to which the work deploys apposite examples and pieces of evidence to support its claims, thereby turning unsupported assertions into critical arguments

Style and Presentation: the extent to which the work makes effective and correct use of the English language, is clearly and soberly written, and tidily presented.

While there is no set order of priority among these criteria, the main emphasis is on evidence of understanding and the ability to think, to argue a case or to solve problems. These criteria are used to categorise submissions into the following classes (note that the narratives below are guidelines). 0-29: Very poor work, which does not address the question and shows little or no knowledge of the subject, and fails to deal with any of the issues. 30-39: Poor work, says something relevant to the question, but does not show much evidence of reading or an ability to develop a clear argument. 40-49: Inadequate work, which shows some knowledge of the literature and addresses the question, but lacks originality and organisation. 50-59: Satisfactory work, which shows an awareness of the major issues, shows knowledge of the sources and of alternative approaches to the subject. Work which

44

reaches the Pass standard, but does not show a clear understanding of alternative arguments and makes uncritical use of sources. 60-69: Good work, which treats the issues in a critical and balanced way, and shows an awareness of context, sources and different explanations. 70-100: Work deserving a distinction mark, which displays exceptional knowledge of the literature and/or a substantial measure of originality.

Annex: Policy on the Recording of Lectures and Other Teaching Sessions Please note that the copyright in the lectures and other teaching sessions reside with the teacher responsible for the teaching session. Students may request permission to record any teaching session delivered as part of their programme of study. All such requests should be made prior to the recording to the teacher responsible for the teaching session, and the decision on whether to grant permission is at the discretion of the teacher. Special provisions apply to students with a disability who wish to record teaching sessions. Please see the Disability Office for further details. http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/services/facilities/disability/disability-office Recordings of teaching sessions may only be made for the personal and private use of the student making the recording. Students may not: (a) record teaching sessions on behalf of other students; (b) pass such recordings to any other person (except for the purposes of transcription, in which case they can be passed to one person only); and (c) may not publish such recordings in any form (this includes, but is not limited to, the internet and hard copy publication). Where students breach this policy, the College may regard this as a disciplinary offence. All such breaches will be dealt with in accordance with the College’s Code of Student Discipline.
