Course Description
This course is intended to introduce students to the main issues, concepts and methods of analysis in political science over a length of
a full academic year. It is an introductory course that intends to familiarize students with basic concepts of politics and enable them
to make intelligent inquiries into the controversies surrounding them. It expects the students to use the tools and frameworks
provided and look at such issues from multiple angles. By the end of the course you will be expected to have working understanding
of and an ability to question main concepts, topics and approaches in political science, using the analytical tools discussed throughout
the course.
Course Overview
Politics matters. If you do not take an interest and participate, others will, and they will influence the decisions that govern your life.
Will they take us to war in a foreign land? Who might have to fight in that war? You. Will they alter the tax code to favor certain
citizens and corporations? Who will have to pay in taxes what others avoid paying? You. Will they set up government programs
whose costs escalate far beyond what anyone had foreseen? Who then will have to pay these costs? You. One goal of this course is to
make you aware of what politics is and how it works so that you can look after yourself and prevent others from using you. The
ignorant are manipulated. Through examples from the United States and from other lands, this course will introduce you to the whole
field of political science looking at a variety of theories, conceptual frameworks, and paradigms.
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
•
Explain how and why political scientists ask questions and make sense of the political world;
•
Distinguish between competing political theories and tell how they impact practice;
•
Analyze political phenomenon using scholarly study rather than partisan preference;
•
Identify classic and contemporary ideologies;
•
Differentiate state types and forms and characterize weak and strong states;
•

•

•
