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.
