The Reading: “Liberal nationalism – An irresponsible compound?” (Ch. 6) by Andrew Vincent, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader “Really existing nationalisms – A Post-communist view from Marx and Engels” (Ch. 7) by Erica Benner, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader “Masculinity and nationalism – Gender and Sexuality in the making of nations” (Ch. 8) by Joane Nagel, in Nations and Nationalism: A Reader Consider the following questions when writing your journal entry. You do not need to answer all the questions, but you should address at least one of the questions. Aim for more than a summary and use your write-up to show your understanding of the readings. Where possible, deepen your discussion by adding comparisons, addressing points of agreement or disagreement, or adding critiques (refer to comments given on previous assignments). Your answer should be in paragraph form with proofread, clear prose, 450 words. The readings for this week include topics like liberal and Marxist ideologies, which are often thought to be in competition with each other, as well as gender and nationalism (specifically masculinity). Compare and/or contrast the arguments presented by Vincent and Benner. Consider the ideas of liberal nationalism vs. Marxist nationalism. How are these similar and/or different? What role does gender play in the 'making of nations'? Explain. How are the readings from this week (or at least one of the readings from this week) similar to or different from the readings from previous weeks?
The Keyword Entry Paper: The keyword genre of academic writing expects that the author provides an account of a term, its political and cultural usage, and their critical understanding of it. This is not the same as giving a definition of a term or a description of its meaning. A definition tries to fix the meaning of a term, and a description summarizes a term’s features. The Keyword Entry paper you will conduct expects you to articulate uses, contexts, and understandings of the Keywords so that your reader can appreciate the richness of the Keyword and why it is important to our ways of thinking about politics. Raymond Williams describes his own Keywords book project, the model for this assignment, by stating that a keyword … is not a dictionary or glossary of a particular academic subject. It is not a series of footnotes to dictionary histories or definitions of a number of words. It is, rather, the record of an inquiry into a vocabulary: a shared body of words and meanings in our most general discussions, in English, of the practices and institutions which we group as culture and society. (Raymond Williams, Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society, New edition; New York: Oxford University Press, 2014, xxvi-xxvii)

Some have argued that the very design of Congress, the presidency, and the federal courts is geared to benefit those in American society who are wealthy, powerful, and organized. In other words, those with little wealth or power tend to have a weaker voice in our political system. American government thus does not truly represent “the people” because of unequal access to and influence on members of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Do you believe this claim is correct? Why or why not? What are some ways we can improve representation and access in U.S. politics? In crafting your response, you MUST include at least SEVEN different sources FROM FIVE DIFFERENT WEEKS to support your argument. The lectures DO NOT COUNT as a source, nor do dictionaries, encyclopedias, or Wikipedia, which SHOULD NOT appear in your paper at all. THE TEXTBOOK ONLY COUNTS AS ONE SOURCE. You should draw on specific examples and evidence in making your argument. You can draw on outside material and it will count toward the week that we covered that subject. You must cite all sources in-text where appropriate. https://www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/americ... https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/03/10... https://harvardlawreview.org/forum/vol-134/the-fut... https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/23315...
Thomas C. Schelling claimed that nuclear weapons rendered war "unthinkable." Should the world ban the possession and use of nuclear weapons, or should it trust the nuclear powers themselves to control these weapons? Should non-nuclear states have a voice in what nuclear states do with their own weapons? How do disarmament and arms control differ from each other? How well have disarmament and arms control agreements worked in the past?
Watch a news program or listen to a podcast that is at least 30 minutes long once a week, this can be any network or an online source as long as it is a mainstream news source (so no InfoWars or any of that silliness). PLEASE AVOID PUNDITRY SHOWS (SUCH AS RACHEL MADDOW/TUCKER CARLSON/ANDERSON COOPER/ETC). 2) Write a one-page paper with a header that includes the name of the program, the dates/times watched, and the channel/source. 3) The bulk of the one-page paper should connect at least one of the course readings to at least one topic that was featured in the news over the two week period. If you miss an entry, you will lose 20 points.
