POS 2011 Comparative Politics
This course is an introduction to comparative government and politics, designed to acquaint students with the political cultures and institutional arrangements and workings of governments and political processes of major industrialized countries of the global North (eg. United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and Russia). Students acquire a comparative perspective as they examine institutional development, the interaction of political parties, debates over the political economy, the impact of the European Union, and the success or decline of democracy in these countries. This course is highly recommended for students interested in building their Global Awareness portfolio.
