Subject: Political Science STD: XII (June 2024 – March 2025)
Course III- Book-I
Contemporary World Politics
Course Rationale:-
The political map of the world has undergone a dramatic change after the end of the cold war.
The present course is an introduction to this new world of politics that we live in. It aims at
encouraging and equipping the student to think about India’s place in this world. It seeks to
impart relevant information and develop a perspective so as to initiate the student in the
discipline of international relations and to a limited extent, comparative politics. The course
moves away from the conventional focus of introductory courses on world politics in many
ways. Its focus is clearly on the post 1990 world, with a brief introduction to cold war and
bipolar world to serve as a background. The emphasis here is not only on relations among
nations; the course also seeks to introduce the students to post democratization political
systems across the world and to processes of globalization in internal and external relations of
the nations. While paying attention to the role of big powers, it gives careful attention to
alternative centres of power and the global South. It seeks to shift the focus away from the
formal description of the UN and its organs, to new institution of global governance. Given
its emphasis on locating India in contemporary world politics, the course does not limit the
discussion on India to a chapter on India’s foreign policy. Instead, it seeks to situate India in
the context of each of the themes and regions discussed in the course, while paying special
attention to India’s relations with its neighbours. An extensive use of maps is strongly
recommended for this course.
Learning Objective:-
Enable the students to expand their horizon beyond India and make sense of the
political map of contemporary world.
Familiarize the students with some of the key political events and processes in the
post cold war era.
Equip students to be conscious of the way in which global events and processes
shape our everyday lives
Strengthen their capacity for political analysis by thinking of contemporary
developments in a historical perspective.
Course Content:-
1. Cold War Era in world Politics: Cuban Missiles Crisis, What is Cold War,
Emergence of two power blocs, Challenges to Bi-polarity: Non Aligned Movement, New
International Economic Order.
2. The End of Bipolarity: Gorbachev and the disintegration, Why did the Soviet Union
disintegrate, Consequences of disintegration, Shock Therapy (Meaning only), Consequences
of Shock Therapy.
3. US Hegemony in World Politics: Beginning of the New World Order, 9/11 and the
Global War on Terror, What does Hegemony mean, Hegemony as a Hard Power, Hegemony
as Structural Power, Hegemony as Soft Power, India’s relationship with the USA.

Course IV Book-II: Politics in India since Independence
Course Rationale:-
It is a common experience that the younger generation of citizens does not know very much
about the first and formative fifty years in the history of independent India. They often know
more about India of 1920s and 1940s than they do about any decade in post independence
period including even the 1990s. This course seeks to fill this lacuna with a view to providing
the students with information and perspective that would help them in their further study of
Political Science and their role as a citizen. That is why there is a focus on political history;
other dimensions are brought in only to the extent they impinge on political history. In doing
so, the course seeks to incorporate the lessons learnt from the discipline of history: that
history must not become a mere chronicle of dates and events, that it should be integrated
into an analytical narrative, that the history of politics must not become a narrow history of
national political events and personalities and that history writing must not take place from a
narrow partisan angle. The syllabus has to be illustrative rather than comprehensive; the idea
is to identify some major developments in any period and then illustrate it with some events
and personalities at the national level as well as in a select state or region. It is suggested that
some of the recent political developments should be handled in general terms avoiding
reference to persons active in today’s politics.
Learning Objectives:-
Enable students to be familiar with some of the key political events and figures in the
post-independence period
Develop skills of political analysis through events and processes of recent history
Develop their capacity to link macro processes with micro situations and their own
life
Encourage the students to take a historical perspective of making sense of the
contemporary India.
