More about this course
- This course introduces students to major theories and concepts in comparative politics, as well as the basic tools of comparative analysis
- It explores competing theoretical approaches (modernization, Marxist, social, cultural, institutionalist, and history-centered) to three major phenomena in world politics: economic development, democratization, and political order
- It also explores debates about the role of political institutions, states and state-building, and civil society in shaping political outcomes
- These theoretical debates are examined through an analysis of cases from across the globe, including Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East. The final week of the course examines the United States in comparative perspective
