Topics of discussion include the global rich / poor gap,
culture clash among civilizations, the meaning of the nation
state in the twenty-first century, the relationship between
religion and politics, the Islamic fundamentalist challenge,
ethnicity and nationalism, exporting democracy, civic
values and participation. Contemporary issues in each
country will be examined. Attention will be given to the
ways that democratic states differ, despite their common
governmental system of democracy. However, other
systems of government besides democracy will also be
considered including communism and theocracy. Through
this course, students will develop an understanding of each
country, as well as develop criteria for comparing
similarities and differences across countries. A main
