Course Description | This course is a survey of the literature on democracy and democratization. We will focus on the process of democratization from social, historical and comparative perspectives. Our course will cover many countries, but the focus will be thematic rather than regional. After discussing alternative definitions of democracy and democratization, we will examine the key elements of various democratization and de-democratization processes. We will then turn to the concept of “democratic consolidation” and discuss its shortcomings that led to the emergence of notions like “defective democracies” and “hybrid regimes”. In the last two weeks of the course we will discuss the future prospects and challenges for democracy and democratization in Turkey and other countries around the world. | ||||
Course Description in Turkish | Demokrasi ve demokratikleşmeye dair literatürün köşe taşlarının tartışıldığı bu derste demokratikleşme sürecine toplumsal, tarihsel ve mukayeseli bir perspektiften yaklaşacağız. Ders çerçevesinde bir dizi ülke ve bölge ele alınsa da temel yaklaşımımız kronolojik değil tematik olacak. Farklı demokrasi ve demokratikleşme tanımlarını ele aldıktan sonra çeşitli demokratikleşme ve otoriterleşme süreçlerinin kilit özelliklerini ele alacağız. Demokratik konsolidasyon kavramını ve bu kavramsallaştırmanın eksiklikleri nedeniyle ortaya çıkan defolu demokrasiler ve melez rejimlere kategorilerini inceleyeceğiz. Dersin son iki haftasında demokrasinin ve demokratikleşmenin Türkiye ve dünyadaki seyrinine dair muhtelif senaryoları ele alacağız. |
