POLSC1301 Introduction to Comparative Government and Politics Social Analysis (SA) Social Science (SS)

Fall and spring semesters. 4 credits

The goal of this course is for students to develop an understanding of the dynamics of the international political arena. Throughout the course we will be exploring the perspectives of states and peoples from the many regions that make up our increasingly globalized world. We will begin by acquainting ourselves with how international relations impacts our lives. We will examine the theoretical concepts used to explain the international system, as well as the changing concepts of security and power. We will next explore the role of wars and negotiations in international politics today and go on to address the role of international law and institutions, issues of intervention, and economic development. We will then examine the interconnection of human rights and the environment in international relations. Fall and spring semesters. 4 credits

POLSC1501 Political Theory & Analysis This survey course will provide an intro­duction to major political philosophers, ­concepts, and to competing ideologies on political science by presenting some of the fundamental theoretical schools and by examining many of the approaches that underlie contemporary ideologies. Special attention will be placed on the theoretical background that ultimately deals with the complex triangular relationship between the individual, society, and the state. Spring semester. 4 credits

POLSC2203 U.S. Culture Wars and Political Socialization Political socialization, the “people-oriented” explanation of political events, is concerned with the knowledge, values and beliefs of the average citizen. What do citizens demand of their government? Under what conditions are they willing to support its leaders? 2021-2022 Academic Catalog

Course Descriptions for Arts and Sciences

This course is designed to be a broad introduction to the field of comparative politics, to pose these questions of contrast and comparison and to begin to give you, the student citizen, the tools to understand politics in the world around you. It will be divided into two main sections: 1) System, Process and Policies and 2) Country Studies. The first half of the course will define the main units of study (states, political systems, governments, regime types, electoral systems, political culture, interest aggregation, political parties, social movements, public policy and democratic development) and the second half of the course will be devoted to country studies based on regime type (Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Brazil, Russian Federation, South Africa, China, Iran), using the framework developed earlier.
