Description
The master’s programme Comparative Democracy Research deals with different theoretical and empirical aspects of democratic systems. Not all democracies are the same. The “rule of the people” varies greatly from country to country: Democracies can be parliamentary or presidential, majoritarian or consensus-oriented. Comparative Democracy Research takes a closer look at how democratically organised communities are structured, how they work, and how they develop. It provides students with theories and methods to empirically study and normatively evaluate democracies. The course modules deal amongst other things with the following issues: What makes democracy so successful? Why does it change? And what can cause it to fail? The political science components of the course are complemented by modules from the fields of law, public administration and sociology.
