    Description

    PO314 Democracy and Dictatorship 3 credits
    Why are some nations of the world democracies and others dictatorships? What is the impact
    of democratic and dictatorial governments on the people who live under them? To address
    these central questions of the course, we will compare and contrast the political experiences
    of the developing and developed nations of the world. Special attention will be paid to the
    conditions under which democracies and dictatorships thrive or collapse. Prerequisite: any
    PO class or GLE120.
