fundamentalism in recent years. It begins with a discussion of human psychology and the nature of religion. The second part traces the history of the state and the rise of liberal democracy in the West. The third part focuses on the institutions of liberal democracy and why democracy sometimes produces good outcomes, and sometimes bad outcomes. The tension between liberal democracy and religious fundamentalism is explored.
The course has a lecture format, but ample time will be left at each meeting for questions and discussion. Students are expected to participate actively in the course keeping up to date on the readings, asking questions, participating in the discussions. Emphasis will not be placed on students knowing "the right answers," but on the development of knowledge and understanding about liberal democracy.
