POLS 1210 - Introduction to Comparative Politics

Credits: 3
Comparative politics is a method of analysis that evaluates similarities and differences among political systems in order to develop general conclusions about political phenomena.  The study of politics beyond U.S. borders helps place our own political system into perspective by highlighting alternatives to our own system and challenging the assumption that there is only one right way to organize political life. 3 lecture hours
