  • Scientific Advisor, Forecast II Project, DRMEC, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Ca., 1990. (Our university was also made a "beta test site" for the Globesight model, but not activated.)
  • CURRENT TEACHING AND RELATED DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES

       Teaching. I teach international relations at undergraduate and graduate levels. At the undergraduate level, I use the Web/Internet to distribute and update course materials (schedules, readings, draft texts and papers), and email for students' assignments and interaction, a decision aid program (Thomas Saaty's "Expert Choice") and text, and a global model (Barry Hughes' "International Futures Simulation" 1990) and text, to teach basics from personal decision making to international systems analysis. In addition I have tutors (who have previously taken this course and are now taking my "Teaching Political Science" class) assisting in the teaching and design of this class (of about 60-100 students), thus assuring greater quality of instruction as class size grows.

    At the graduate level I teach "Modeling International Systems," an introduction to modeling decision making, national politics, international relations and global systems; "International Relations Seminar," a discussion course for PhD and advanced MA candidates; and periodically our Department's introductory graduate course in international relations, and a simulation practicum.

    Doctoral Committee Service. I usually am on about ten Ph.D. Committees, about half of which I chair at any one time, about one or two of which graduate each year. In 1999, I was a member for a Korean who graduated, testing an hypothesis about the oppressive tendencies of American foreign policy for liberal democratic revolution. In 1998, I chaired one who graduated, an American specializing in modern management and democratic theory, and their implications for the globalizing international system. In 1997, I chaired two who graduated, one a Korean who made a case for Korean neutrality for unification, and an American who focused on international business in a globalizing international environment. In 1996, I chaired two who graduated, one a Korean who specialized in voting behavior and quantitative modeling, and the other an American who examined strategic futures in a globalizing world system (his dissertation became the best selling dissertation in the entire USA). In 1995 I chaired two and was a member of a third that graduated, one a Sri Lankan examining SAARC decision making, one American who developed a theory of "peristatal" global politics, and the third a Vietnamese who examined her country's foreign policy from a political economy perspective. In 1993, I chaired two, one a Cambodian, who founded a new research institute in Phnom Penh and focused on democratization in an unstable international and domestic environment, the other a Costa Rican who developed her own theory of political economy.

    In the near future I expect my workload to be severely cut back at the graduate level by what appears to me to be a mystifyingly short sighted departmental policy of admitting fewer applicants, resulting in a radical shrinking of the total number of students in our graduate program in the past several years (cutting enrollment by about two thirds!).

    Administrative Committee Service In recent years I have served on a number of Departmental Committees. For the last two I have served on our Admissions Committee for M.A. and Ph.D. applicants, reviewing several hundred applicants each year.

    In 1998, I served on the Teaching Committee's subcommittee for "How We Teach" (you may view its report on the Web) which was unexpectedly ignored.

    I have occasionally served as the "webmaster" (and currently) for the Department, but the only real contribution I made to our site was the faculty web pages directory.

    Community Service

       From time to time I am asked to serve my country or my state as a educator, researcher or political analyst (see "Recent Presentations" below). However, in the State of Hawaii my primary service outside the University is at a "foodbank," where I usually volunteer my time for about a total of two months a year. We give out between 450 and 700, 25-lb. bags of food and produce every month, moving about a ton of food a week, to anyone who asks for it (though no one can come more than once a month). This foodbank is a 100% volunteer activity of First United Methodist Church of Honolulu, the only church operating under a Royal Charter (King Kamehameha IV), given in 1855. This foodbank was recognized by City of Honolulu Mayor Eileen Anderson who conferred an award on it.

To my knowledge, this was the first University of Hawaii course with most of its material up in the form of browsable pages (initially with Lynx). Prior to that, I used (and still do) email as the primary medium for student-teacher interaction, and student-student simulation of international relations.
