Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Political parties are the main actors in politics. This course serves as an introduction to concepts and theories employed in the study of political parties. At the beginning of this course, we will talk about definitions of parties, followed by an introduction into party competition (i.e. electoral and party systems). We will also talk about the representational function of parties and how voters react to party behaviour. Do parties stick to their electoral promises and do voters notice? Finally, we will also analyse how voters perceive of parties and whether parties react to changing preferences of voters.
