What You'll Learn

This course presents the perspectives, frameworks, and methodological tools necessary for the study of comparative politics. Students must sit for POL103 before enrolling in this module, as it will provide the necessary information needed for comparisons with the countries being studied. Areas of focus include examining functions of similar institutions, which may differ in different political systems. This has implications with regard to how issues like income inequality or ageing are resolved, and how policies formulated address such concerns across different countries.
