Overview
Political Science 342 studies the political systems of two or more countries, providing the opportunity to examine the features of individual political systems and to investigate the similarities and differences among political systems. Comparative politics attempts to analyse and explain its findings through the method of comparative study.
Political Science 342 includes in-depth studies of nine individual cases: eight countries as indicated in the course outline below plus the European Union (EU). Together, these case studies generate a wealth of information that allows us to construct the key features for each of the individual cases, examine similarities among various political systems, and appreciate the diversity of the political world. The case studies also permit interesting conclusions and allow for the generation of useful questions.
