SOAS politics

Seeing how shcokingly right-wing the politics forum is, can someone reassure me it's not like this at SOAS?

Its so left wing that RESPECT are the biggest party here, and most of the lecturers are communists.

As a card-carrying pinko, I hope they do. :wink:

Respect pisses me off though. Bloody Galloway.

I do respect Respect, but yeah, Galloway manages to piss me off as well

Some lecturers often do go into commie rants, as do many of the tutors. :p:

Anyone got the required reading list for Politics?

Have a look on the website.
Failing that, PM me.

Hi

:smile:

. I'm applying for 2007 and I want to do Politics but with Japanese. What are the requirements for this?

This year it was 320 points, IIRC.

What level of Japanese do you need to know previously?

I believe they teach it from scratch. Have a look on the website.

Thank you very much. :smile:

I really want to study at SOAS.

I have met quite a few SOAS profs/lecturers, they are mostly either "green" or "communist"- idealists in general.

hi! sorry, but I was also looking around for a reading list... found one for the postgraduate course, but nothing under undergrad.. got anything in mind? I'm really interested in politics and international relations and have an offer for politics-sept06.. *cringe* just finished my last A2 exam today..

This isn't a SOAS reading list as such, but is reading that I think will come in handy and will give you a head start for the course:

What is Politics? by A Leftwich
On Liberty by J S Mill
The Social Contract by J J Rousseau
Democracy in America by A de Tocqueville
any stuff you can find on Marx/Marxism
The clash of fundementalisms by Tariq Ali
Orientalism by E W Said
any introductions/readings on Max Weber, particularly on bureaucracy
Democracy and Democratisation by G Sorensen
Third World Politics by C Clapham
any readings on revolution (in particular the works of Skocpol)
Some background knowledge of revolutions in the third world, particularly those of China and Iran

Should be enough for now...

On a tangent what the heck does SOAS stand for?

School of Oriental and African Studies. :smile:

:smile:

thank you so much! ^^
