Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The global importance of the United States can not be underestimated. Economic events in the US have global influence as is the case with political events. Examples of the former being the current economic crisis and the Marshall plan while examples of the latter could be the civil rights debate in the 1950es and New Deal in the 1930es. Ability to analyse the politics and the government of the United States is therefore an extremely valuable tool for any political scientist.
