This course provides an introduction to Western European political systems. We will focus exclusively on the four major countries: Britain, France, Germany and Italy. For each country case, we will look at the historical development of political economies and political institutions. This intersection of market and polity--the tension between social class and citizenship--constitutes the dominant comparative focus of the course. Through the use of novels and films as well as more conventional social scientific texts, the course will also explore the contemporary relationship between state and society in these four countries. Thus, the course will explore both theoretical tools and substantive issues.
