This
course presents an introduction to the basic conceptual and theoretical tools
for research and analysis in the field of politics. To understand the core
concepts used by political scientists and political theorists, we will be
addressing a broad range of issues that cover the nature of politics and the
structures of authority and power within political systems. During this course,
the students will also explore issues related with the rights and
responsibilities in contemporary representative democracies, as well as the
diversity of different contemporary political systems and ideas in a regional
and global context.
