PS 220 - Police States

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

The study of how governments function over time includes how the structure of government has been transformed. A study of the formation of police states means an examination of how governments are changed from democratic to authoritarian in response to events. Police states exist in many parts of the globe in which governments use political repression to dominate society. They are police states because of either the suspension of the rule of law or the use of law to monitor and eliminate diverse viewpoints and organizations. This course will use case studies to explore how and why governments are made into police states, how police states limit freedom as well as the ultimate goals of police states.
