POLS 2301 - Comparative PoliticsCredit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Laboratory Hour(s): 0
Comparative Politics introduces students to important theoretical approaches to comparing different political systems, and then helps students employ empirical analysis to address such questions as: Why does democracy flourish in some environments and not others? How does the nature of political institutions influence public policy? How are interests aggregated and represented in different political systems? By addressing these kinds of questions in the context of past and present political systems, student develop a broader understanding of the variety of ways that people can organize a political system and a deeper understanding of human political diversity. Students also familiarize themselves with the theoretical approach specific to comparative politics and with the methods used by social scientists generally.
