Seminar in Comparative Politics:

In this course we will survey the voluminous literature on democratization and issues that facilitate or hamper the democratization process. We will begin with a discussion of definitions and examples of democracy. We will then examine in more detail theories about transitions to democracy (complete and incomplete) and consider illustrative examples. Finally, we will study the role of economic and institutional political development in the democratization process, and we will consider the extent to which social and political conflict are inevitable in transitions to democracy.
