△ POLS 475 - Challenges of Democracy


(3 S.H.)

The emphasis in this course is on the perceived threats to democracy as a system of government throughout the world.

The students will study the theory of democracy and also consider how, and whether, its promise can be realized. Prerequisite: POLS 135 - Introduction to Comparative Politics  or instructor permission. Grade or P/NC. Offered alternate years.
