Political Science

Description:

To understand the "third wave" democratization in the late 20th century, this course engages theories about the causes, meanings, and challenges of "democracy", including its complex relationships with capitalism. What were the roles of elites, classes, and social movements in recent democratic transitions, what types of systems emerged, what conditions can cause "de-democratization", and how does the post-Cold War hegemony of market capitalism affect the prospects for sustaining and deepening democracy in the early 21st century?
