Sen: What Clash of Civilizations?

Dear students,

Here is the link to the article(s) by Amartya Sen "What Clash of Civilizations?" you have to prepare for next week (Dec 1 and 2):

• highlight the main ideas
• prepare 10 questions and their answers: we will use them for class discussions
  

In case, this link does not work, try from another computer (if you can) or email me, I will send it to you as soon as possible.

This article will not be included in your first in-class exam (Dec 08 and 09). The second and last in-class exam will take place on January 05 and 06. As per the History departments' requirements, this last exam will count for 40% of your semester grade and 100% of the grade of those students who are in "contrôle final".

I might collect a sample of your homework on a random basis. If this homework is not ready/not done/forgotten, you will get a zero. Students absent for unjustified reasons will automatically get a zero on this preparation work.

Second Monday group (from 1pm to 2pm): the in-class work on the US elections will take place next week. Be prepared and ready!

Best regards,
