Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course provides an introduction to political science from an international development perspective. Apart from an introduction to basic concepts in political science, the course discusses key issues in debates on politics in non-western countries and global politics more generally within comparative politics, international relations, sociology of power and political systems analysis. Specifically, the course presents debates on democracy, global governance, political economy, welfare state/social policies and social movements. The course is rounded up by a number of case studies of specific policy fields, including global environmental policies/ politics; population policies and reproductive politicies, supply chains, and populism.
