PS 150 Introduction to Comparative Politics
(4 Credits)
Comparative Politics is an introductory survey course that presents how political scientists use the comparative method to examine how defining features of a country, such as political institutions, ideology, or political economy, explain political outcomes. Throughout the semester, students examine fundamental concepts of comparative inquiry such as political institutions, ideology, political economy, and political culture that political scientists use to compare foreign governments. During the course students apply concepts to contemporary issues and events such as the protests in the Middle East; differences in how states approach universal health care; the process of democratization in Egypt, Ukraine, Iran, Venezuela, and elsewhere to enrich learning.
