Course Title:
Politics 230: Comparative Politics
Course Number:
POL 230
Course Description:
This level 4 required module studies and compares politics across states, by exploring several questions through research on similarities and differences among countries and within and between political systems. In the process, students will discover various ways in which institutional and non-institutional variables determine the answers to complicated questions like why nations thrive or fail, how culture affects governance quality, or what drives change within states and across borders. Country cases will be drawn from different regions of the world to ground students in the set of tools of comparative analysis, so that they may use these tools to further examine and link facts to the larger questions of international relations. The module will thus enhance student capacities to explain and compare political phenomena and give them a foundation
