Research question:

Political institutions are key factors which distinguish varieties of political regimes (democracies and non-democracies) as well as subvarieties of democratic and nondemocratic regimes. These regime varieties (and their transformations) are both affected by and have consequences for other political, socio-economic, international and cultural phenomena. Discuss a variety of key relationships between political institutions and these other social phenomena, both with respect to institutions as the dependent variable as well as with respect to institutions as the independent variable. In addition to course literature which emphasizes theory, a wide variety of course readings which present single- as well as comparative-country case studies must be utilized. The latter can provide real-world illustrations as well as serve as sources of historical and numerical data.

Instructions for the NinjaEssays-writer:
Please confer all of the uploaded documents before you start writing. It is extremely important that every theory is well documented and cited! It is absolutely crucial for the assignment that the text is based overwhelmingly upon the syllabus from this course and not upon readings or knowledge that you have garnered previously, however directly or indirectly relevant that information might be. So, please use references listed in the uploaded course curriculum. And, by all means, avoid citing works that haven’t been consulted! If you make something up along the way, please do not cite an author as if you have read it somewhere else.

Information about the course:
Students in this course will acquire a broad and sophisticated knowledge of democratic and non-democratic political systems as well as the processes which result in changes in the type of political system. They will approach these topics theoretically (through a survey of concepts and theories of democracy), historically (they will read a large variety of articles and book chapters that study individual countries¿ experiences from around the world in a comparative analytic framework), and scientifically (they will be exposed to classic research questions and hypotheses and study past and contemporary research that presents findings to answer these questions). Students will also study institutional varieties of democratic systems and study scientifically whether different types perform better in terms of economic outcomes. There are also selected readings throughout the course which instruct the students in the methodology of studying democratic and non-democratic systems. Most of the readings are professional (yet accessible) journal articles and book chapters, organized by theme and pedagogical value, supplemented by selections drawn from intermediate-level texts. Students will acquire the ability to analyze and interpret world political events related to democratic and non-democratic political systems.

The course is divided into the following sections: I. Concepts and Theories; II. Economic Development and the Process of Democratization; III. The Transition to and Consolidation of Democracy; IV. The Breakdown of Democracy and Authoritarian Regimes; V. Democratic Institutions; VI. Political Regimes and Political Violence.
Learning outcomes:
Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:
• Critically discuss democratic and non-democratic political systems as well as the processes which result in changes in the type of political system and be able to analyze these topics theoretically, historically, and scientifically.
• Describe institutional varieties of democratic systems and study scientifically whether different types perform better in terms of economic outcomes.
• Understand, analyze, and interpret world political events related to democratic and non-democratic political systems.
