POL-UA 505: Elections and Voting
4.00 Credits
New York University
Examines how and why elections differ so much across democracies. Is it because voters are different in these countries? Or is it because the electoral laws differ across countries? The U.S. elections are used as the frame of reference for examining the effect of institutions and voting behavior. Other countries are discussed to illustrate how cross-national differences in voting behavior and institutions can affect the electoral processes. This comparative perspective provides a better way to understand the U.S. electoral process.

POL-UA 511: Immigration and Politics in Western Europe
4.00 Credits
New York University
Explores immigration and patterns of immigrant incorporation in Western Europe in comparative perspective. Since the early 1960s, immigration has transformed European countries into multiracial and multiethnic societies. We first explore how public policy contributed to this transformation; how it was structured by different concepts, traditions, and laws on citizenship; and how it was related to transformation of the party system and the emergence of the extreme right and "identity politics" in Western Europe. We then analyze the impact of this transformation on attempts by European states first to maintain control of their frontiers, and then to incorporate immigrants into the national community. Finally, we explore the emerging movement within the European Union to develop harmonized policies for asylum seekers and immigration at a time of growing pressures for increased immigration in Western Europe.
