About the Course

This course is part of the IPSAMOOC project, a joint venture Federica Weblearning - IPSA, the International Political Science Association. Comparative politics covers a wide variety of topics and themes. The course starts with the definition of the comparative method giving special emphasis to concept formation and historical and institutional approaches. The bulk of the course is devoted to the theory of coalitions and the processes of government formation, functioning, termination. Through several in-depth analyses, the course will throw light on the way democratic regimes are governed. Electoral rules will receive special attention and their impact both on citizens鈥� behavior and parties and the party system will be thoroughly examined. The types of Parliaments, their structures and their role will be taken into consideration also in order to understand how they affect the formation of governing coalitions. Hence the dynamics and the transformation of those coalitions, with special attention to their more or less frequent rotation in office, will be explored and explained. The assets and the liabilities of the different institutional arrangements will be evaluated. The final part of the course will be devoted to an assessment of the quality of the different democratic regimes and to the proposals for change. The overall picture likely to emerge is that of the existence of several institutional solutions to the challenges and the problems of contemporary democracies....

Good analysis of democracy, including parliamentary and presidential systems. Minimal coverage of non-democratic systems, like socialism/communism.

This is a good review of political systems but is quite long-winded at times. The lecturer often "shows off" his knowledge, rather than teaching anything. I learned quite a lot about how different countries elect their candidates. However, although there is a whole lecture about "the future of democracy", I don't think that it actually covered the future of democracy. I also didn't get a very convincing argument for why democracy is the best possible system, or which democratic system is best, or how the current problems with democracy can be resolved.
