| The workshop is designed to empower students to engage with the way political and social scientists think. It offers an introduction to politics in a globalised world, with a focus on how political science tries to understand and explain cross-country and cross-time differences. The lectures concentrate on political behaviour, institutions, and actors, focusing mainly on democratic and partially democratic countries. Students will learn about the influence of political actors on decision-making processes, political institutions and political outcome. For more details, see course script. | |
