SOC-STD 98md - Struggles for Democracy

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

What have we learned from two centuries of democratic revolutions about how they succeed and why they fail? And how much can this history tell us about contemporary prospects for democratization elsewhere, for instance in Russia, China, or the Middle East? This course critically engages the comparative literature on democratization while introducing students to the variety of empirical methods researchers have brought to bear on questions like these.
