This course introduces students to the comparative method in political science. In doing so it covers the fundamental concepts of political science--the logic of comparison, regime types, and institutionalism. It then goes on to look at the institutional building blocks of modern states--constitutions, executives, legislatures, electoral systems--before employing these same fundamental and institutional concepts to grapple with contemporary political questions around issues such as political violence, the rise of populism, and the impact of globalization on politics and society.
