Team-taught by a historian and a political scientist, this course was designed to focus on themes of leadership, decision making and ethics in ancient Greece and Rome, and in the modern era. This course in comparative history and politics examined leadership dilemmas of the ancient and modern worlds by looking at, among other things, the Peloponnesian War and the war in Iraq; the ethical concerns of Tiberius and of Bill Clinton; the democratic leadership of Pericles and of the Framers of the American Republic; the character of Brutus and of George Washington; the dysfunctional aspects of the decision making of Antony and of George W. Bush; and Aristotle's concept of phronesis and the political leadership of George H. W. Bush. Employing two different academic disciplines and two different eras allowed examination of leadership themes and challenges that run through the course of history and highlighted recurring leadership dilemmas faced in both the ancient and modern worlds.
