| Aims of the Course |
This course examines political regimes, constitutional architectures, government systems (parliamentary, presidential, semi-presidential), and institutional actors (political parties, electoral systems, interest groups, and the balance of legislative-executive-judicial powers) in different countries using the methodology of comparative political science. By addressing democratization processes, types of authoritarian regimes, political culture, and the dynamics of institutional change through similarities and differences, the course aims to enable students to analyze current political regimes and policy preferences from a critical perspective. |
