POSC391 Special Topics in Comparative Politics: The Politics and Government of India \u00a0<\/strong>MW\u00a03:20PM – 4:35PM<\/strong>
\nAs the world\u2019s largest democracy, India is a prominent country in global affairs today. This course provides an introduction to the political structure and policymaking process that shape development in contemporary India. The main questions we address are: How has India\u2019s democracy thrived in a country with numerous religious, linguistic, ethnic, and economic groups? How does politics help explain India\u2019s rapid economic growth on one hand and widespread poverty on the other? What are the major challenges of India\u2019s democracy today? Some of the topics we will cover include: colonial legacies, government institutions, elections and political parties, decentralization, identity politics, poverty, civil society, and corruption. Using India as a guide, the course will cover concepts and themes that are useful for analyzing politics in other developing countries.\u00a0 No prerequisite.<\/p>\n

POSC391 Special Topics in Comparative Politics: Women and Politics in Global Perspective\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0TuTh\u00a01:00PM – 2:15PM<\/strong>
\nThis course is an introduction to the comparative study of women\u2019s participation in politics from an international perspective. The main questions we focus on are: Does the descriptive representation of women lead to their substantive representation? Do gender quotas promote women\u2019s representation? Do women make a difference once elected to office? What are the main obstacles to women\u2019s representation? How has public opinion changed with respect to women in politics? The course will provide an opportunity for students to read and discuss empirical, qualitative, and theoretical scholarship on the role of women in politics with a focus on developing countries. Course readings are organized under four sections: representation and impact, women\u2019s political participation, culture and attitudes toward women, and transnational issues concerning women. As part of the course grade, students will be expected to write an original research paper. \u00a0No prerequisite.<\/p>\n
