Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Evaluation
Assessment will be based on grades for: (1) active participation (20%); (2) an oral presentation (20%); and (3) a research proposal (60%).Active participation (20%): Students must be present in at least 10 of the 12 sessions. You are expected to have read the course materials carefully, and to actively participate in class, which means that you ask questions and take part in group activities and plenary discussions. I suggest that you take notes while preparing for class. Sometimes I might also ask you to keep particular questions in mind while reading the literature. Note that the seminar will be held in English. I will not judge your language proficiency, so please don’t let your language skills hamper your class participation.Presentation (20%): You will give an oral presentation of 15-20 minutes, alone or in a group (depending on the number of class participants). During the presentation you will link the class readings to a recent political development or event in Austria, another European country or the EU in general. How exactly you make this link is up to you. Be creative! You need to show that you are able to creatively engage with the literature and to make connections with other literatures and current affairs. The presentation should thus not be just a summary of the day’s articles! Please make use of PowerPoint (or equivalent) and also produce a handout for the other students.Research proposal (60%): The research proposal will focus on one of the topics discussed during the course. The length of the proposal will be 4000-5000 words (including notes, tables, figures and references), and the piece will be written in English. The proposal will start with an introduction in which you introduce your research question and make clear why it is important to answer that question. In the theoretical section you discuss the relevant concepts and theories and you make clear how they relate to each other and to your particular question. In the methodological section of the proposal you make clear how you are going to answer your question (which cases are you going to assess, which data are you going to use, how are you going to analyze your data, etc.). Be as specific as possible about your research design. More information will be given in class. The deadline is Friday 16 August at 23.59. Please send me the proposal via e-mail.

One of the major developments in Europe and beyond has been the rise of populist parties and politicians. Whether it is Donald Trump in the US, the FPÖ in Austria, Podemos in Spain or Syriza in Greece, populism is increasingly successful and widespread. In this course we focus on how to define populism and we will assess which parties should be classified as populist and for what reasons. Further, we will investigate the causes of the upsurge of populist parties. Why and under which circumstances do people vote for these parties? Which societal developments fuel populism? We will also pay attention to the consequences of the rise of populism. How do mainstream parties respond? And what is the impact on, for instance, policy, media and public opinion? Finally, we will assess the normative question whether populism is good or bad for the functioning of democracy.
