POLI 213 Comparative Politics
Across the world, the culture and history of people groups shape the political systems that develop and the policies that those systems produce. Students will analyze the multiple elements, such as culture, economics and institutions that shape contemporary politics around the world, with specific focus on the ways in which democracy does and does not work. With a foundation of social scientific approaches and lenses of faith, students will analyze the implications of these system-level choices for themselves and for humanity more broadly.
