Learning Outcomes
Aims: Democracy in Comparative Perspective (DCP) seeks to provide:

A contextualization of key concepts in comparative politics and IR, especially power, democracy and the state

An understanding of the basic features and operations of three different states (normally the UK or another European democratic state, a foreign (non-EU) democratic state and a non or semi-democratic state).

Objectives: By the end of DCP we would expect students to be able to:

Demonstrate knowledge of key concepts in the study of politics and IR;

Exhibit comparative knowledge of different political systems, institutions, processes and ideas;

Evaluate alternative explanations of particular political developments and events in the three countries studied in this course.
