| C30.0210 - ECONOMICS OF BEHAVIOR & MISBEHAVIOR Show Description | ||||||||
| This course shows students how economics can be used as an aid in understanding almost every aspect of human behavior: drug addiction, drug policy, crime, marriage, divorce, pornography, prostitution, suicide, religion, assisted reproduction, abortion, sport, gambling and rock ‘n’ roll. With special attention to the evolution of economic ideas, as well as state-of-the-art economic theory and empirical analysis, the value of economics in shedding analytical light on these behaviors will be demonstrated. Further, this course will provide students with sufficient knowledge to decipher between the economic facts and economic myths that pervade popular news media, particularly on topics such as the legalization of drugs and the advantages and disadvantages of capital punishment.

| *Eligible for joint CAS Public Policy minor and Wagner’s Advocacy & Civic Engagement minor. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, the world community vowed never again to allow such atrocities.

Or is punishment after the act of genocide the only viable instrument of international policy? This course will explore these and other questions by examining genocide in an historic and legal context. Proposed policy solutions will be evaluated through a focus on such case studies as Armenia, Ukraine, Cambodia, and the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
