Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course provides an introduction to political science from an international development perspective. Apart from an introduction to basic concepts in political science, the course discusses key issues in debates on politics in non-western countries and global politics more generally within comparative politics, international relations, sociology of power and political systems analysis. Specifically, the course presents debates on democracy, characteristics of the (post)colonial state, global governance, and political economy). The course is rounded up by a number of case studies of specific policy fields, including energy and climate politics; population and reproductive politics, migration, and global commodity chains.
