36 SAIS BOLOGNA CURRICULUM 37 EUROPEAN STUDIES Fall 2011 European Studies offers a broad range of courses in modern European history, political economy, international relations, and political and economic thought. The program focuses not only on the European Union and its member states, but also on other nations in Central, Eastern and Mediterranean Europe, including Russia. The European Studies program is directed from the Bologna Center. Most candidates spend their first year in Bologna and follow a natural progression in courses from Bologna to Washington. The program works to provide opportunities for concentrators to have a third-country internship experience in Europe between their year in Italy and the United States. The European Studies program does not have any required coursework. Instead students design a program of study focused on learning outcomes that help prepare for the program’s three required comprehensive examinations. These “comps”, Modern European History and Ideas, European Political Economies, and Europe and the World Since 1945, combine the politics, economics and history of Europe and fulfill the school’s core exam requirement. European Studies concentrators must also demonstrate proficiency in a modern European language and are strongly encouraged to take at least one country-specific course. Students interested in intensive research and writing are encouraged to participate in the European Research Seminar, a class jointlyhosted with SAIS Washington via video conference, during which M.A. and Ph.D. candidates write an original research paper about a current issue in Europe and present their work to their peers during an authors workshop in Washington D.C. during spring vacation. ERIK JONES is director and professor of European Studies and director of the Bologna Institute for Policy Research of The Johns Hopkins University. He is also head of Europe at Oxford Analytica, a senior research fellow at Nuffield College in Oxford, United Kingdom, and a non-resident fellow at Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Budapest, Hungary. His research focuses on the political economy of contemporary Europe and the transatlantic relationship. Jones is author of The Politics of Economic and Monetary Union (2002), Economic Adjustment and Political Transformation in Small States (2008), and, together with Dana Allin, Weary Policeman: American Power in an Age of Austerity (2012). He is editor or co-editor of more than twenty books or special issues of journals on topics related to European politics and political economy including The Oxford Handbook of the European Union (2012). His commentary is published in the Baltimore Sun, Boston Globe, Financial Times, International Herald Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer. He is a regular columnist with E!Sharp.

38 SAIS BOLOGNA CURRICULUM 39 MIDDLE EAST STUDIES Middle East Studies provides students with a firm grounding in the historical themes and traditions of the Middle East, a working knowledge of Arabic, and a broad understanding of the politics and life of the Middle East, preparing graduates of the program to enter careers in public affairs and the private sector. Students concentrating in the Middle East should take at least one course in the area each semester. Over the two year program six Middle East courses are required for a Middle East concentration. All Middle East major students are required to complete a 75-page research paper (an M.A. Thesis) that involves primary research under the supervision of the Middle East faculty. Students in the Middle East Studies Program are strongly encouraged to spend a summer in a country in the Middle East so that they may study and improve their Arabic.
