Democracy and Dictatorship: Politics in the Contemporary World
GOVT 157 SP
An introduction to politics in industrialized capitalist, state socialist, and developing countries. We explore the meaning of central concepts like democracy and socialism, the strengths and weaknesses of different
kinds
of political institutions (e.g., presidentialism vs. parliamentarianism in liberal democratic countries), the causes and consequences of shifts between types of political systems (e.g., the collapse of state socialism),
and
the relationships among social, economic, and political changes (e.g., among social justice, economic growth, and political democracy in developing countries).
