*taken for credit by students at the host institution

TIMSSE consists of fifteen (15) weekly modules. Each weekly module includes two (2) sessions. Each Wednesday and Friday session lasts two (2) hours. A comprehensive syllabus forms the basis for class interactions.

All materials are to be posted on TIMSSE’s new interactive web site, http://www.timsse.com The links to archived materials from the previous TISK and TISKSE series, 2000-01, are also included.

Both asynchronous tools (email interaction, listserv messages, and threaded discussion) and synchronous tools (face-to-face meetings and PC videoconferences) are used.

The syllabus contains basic readings, questions to orient discussion and Web references, CD ROM material and/or videocassette documentary sources.

The initial hour each Wednesday allows the students at each site time off-line to exchange ideas about the readings and questions to orient discussion. The second hour brings the students at all the sites together on- line in a global classroom.

Each Friday session features a guest speaker whose practical experience provides a counterpoint to the concepts presented in the weekly readings. The speaker gives a 15-20 minute online presentation followed by a question and answer period.

The requirements for TIMSSE students are to:

-contribute to weekly interactive discussions (35%)

-submit an e-journal during weeks 8 and 13 that critically assesses the analytical and empirical points made in class discussions (30%)***

-work in teams of 7-8 students among the different partner sites via email to define and prepare question topics for the threaded discussion forum and take responsibility for its interactive Web-based dialogue (35%)

***This requirement is specifically for the Paris students who meet with Dr. Mazzucelli individually. Each e-journal entry should be 3 pages in length emphasizing a critique of the readings and Web references for the week in light of TIMSSE’s themes, their relevance to the student’s current interests, personal and professional, and the insights the readings may offer in light of the student’s previous internship, travel, residency abroad, cross-cultural and/or intellectual experiences.

Rationale: The transatlantic Internet/Multimedia seminar Southeastern Europe (TIMSSE) is an introduction to online pedagogy in the field of conflict prevention. Its content presents various approaches and schools of thought in the emerging field of international peace and conflict prevention using Waltz’s levels of analysis in Man, the State and War and assesses their relevance to the Balkans. Sources in the American, German and French literatures in international relations as well as Internet sites of the various international, governmental and non-governmental organizations involved in the Balkans provide TIMSSE’s conceptual and empirical foundation. The first module focuses on analytical perspectives in conflict prevention. The second module presents conceptions of nation and state in the Balkans. The third and fourth modules assess the role of technology in education and its relevance to the Balkans. The fifth module discusses the question “Why Conditional Independence?” with an analysis of The Follow-Up of the Kosovo Report. The sixth module focuses on the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia. The seventh module considers human development and conflict prevention: insights from UNDP. The eighth module highlights the Stability Pact for Southeastern Europe. The ninth module presents inquiries into aesthetic education: the historical meaning of holy monuments in Kosovo/a. The tenth module assesses European and transatlantic cooperation and competition in the Balkans. The eleventh module features an evaluation of the conflict prevention toolbox. The twelfth module analyzes the EU’s stabilization and association process for the Western Balkans. The thirteenth module evaluates peacekeeping operations in the Balkans. The fourteenth module discusses post-Yugoslav status questions. The last module is an evaluation of TIMSSE concepts and the implementation of multimedia pedagogy in practice.

TIMSSE Objectives:

(1) to learn using multimedia tools by introducing a wealth of information on the Balkans already online and thereby define a new pedagogical approach to conflict prevention for the region;

(2) to develop a “common sense” Web-based pedagogy that allows a European and transnational consciousness to take root;

(3) to facilitate a new type of inter-personal transatlantic real time dialogue about the Balkans in the context of European integration and cultural diversity via audio, video and chat links;

(4) to archive the TIMSSE content, and to organize our Web-based classroom forums, to offer German, European, American and global citizens the chance to engage in life-long learning at minimal cost;

(5) to familiarize and train CAP and Sciences Po candidates in the uses of new technologies on behalf of an ethical “educational diplomacy” for the Balkans;

(6) to enable CAP and Sciences Po candidates to establish cross-cultural contacts, via the six other Rotary Centers for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution worldwide, that may be useful in the course of their subsequent careers;

(7) to innovate in curriculum development at the University of Munich and Sciences Po.

N.B. The TIMSSE syllabus is an integrated, multi-lingual transatlantic effort. Those students in Paris proficient in German are encouraged to consult the German language sources in the syllabus. Focus in each session on the readings that are available on the Web since these will provide a reference point for common discussion among all the sites. For your own enrichment, personal and professional, read selectively, but widely. Please consult with Dir. Prof. Dr. Mazzucelli via email, co-pres2000@boschalumni.org, about the readings and web references you choose in preparation to write your e-journal entries and remarks in yahoogroups.com. You may focus on specific readings with the professor during her individual meetings with ScPo students in Paris.

N.B. Whenever possible, please use the Internet Explorer browser as the tools we use sometimes may experience difficulties with Netscape.

Questions to Orient Discussion:

Consider the levels of analysis framework in terms of realist, liberal and institutionalist explanations of war and peace. What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of systemic explanations?

Assess several examples in history and in different regions of the world of “scapegoating” as a means to promote historical myths and arouse nationalist sentiment. Are certain political systems more prone to this phenomenon than others?

Are the primordialist, instrumentalist or migrationist explanations applicable to the Balkans conflicts during the Milosevic era? If so, reflect on their relevance in terms of individual level sources of international conflict.

Questions to Orient Discussion:

How do we create a community in TIMSSE in the sense analyzed by Dewey with varied interests and extensive interplay with other associations?

How can we address the essentially “undemocratic” nature of e-Learning exclusively via Internet with other multimedia resources, including radio and text-based materials? What could be the implications of such an undertaking for “class-based” societies?

Given the challenges to education in the poorer countries around the globe, is there a role e-Learning can play to improve humanity’s condition? Consider this question generally and with specific challenges of conflict prevention in mind.

Monasteries, http://www.srpska-mreza.com/mlad/Monasteries.htm

Questions to Orient Discussion:

Consider the long-held views between Albanians and Serbs about the holy monuments in Kosovo/a? What is the relevance of these views today for the different generations of peoples in the area?

Assess Greene’s understanding of Dewey’s view about the “uniqueness of the aesthetic experience”. As we reflect on the historical meaning of monuments in Kosovo/a, in what ways are we challenging “linear, positive thinking”?

Think about Greene’s reflection on “…the subjective experience of a shock”. Does the “wide-awakeness” that Greene views as “essential to critical awareness” offer insight into how the holy monuments might lead to reconciliation through education for youth in Kosovo/a?
