Overall Educational Objective

To learn to apply analytical tools to understand the theories, empirical research and policy experiences in political science.

Course Description

This course aims to introduce the basic analytical tools to examine major theories, concepts and approaches to Political Science. The course offers a broad survey of some of the major fields and topic areas in Political Science including comparative politics, international relations, political economy and political theory. It first introduces the basic terminologies and central concepts to analyze political processes, then continues with the comparison of different political ideologies, forms of government, and the role of the individual and the state. By acquainting students with the general theoretical framework in Political Science, the course will help students to obtain a better empirical grasp of current political debates.
