POSC251L - European Politics 3 Credit(s)
Liberal Arts This class provides a comparative analysis of politics, institutions and governmental structures of select European countries and the European Union (EU). This course as a whole places particular emphasis on the following core aspects of comparative politics: the executive, parliaments, political parties, party systems and electoral behavior. It begins with an overview of the history of regional integration in Europe. Next, we examine developments in several European countries while placing a particular emphasis on the British parliamentary system, post-Gaullist France, and the German Federal Republic. This course also studies the emergence of the newly democratic, free-market economies in Eastern Europe in the post-Cold War Era. Finally, it concludes by examining the EU’s institutions and issues related to its future development.
