PS 400 - Comparative Politics

Credits 3
Recommended prior coursework: ECON-150, GEOG-220, HIST-140, PS-120. Modern communications and transportation, increasing economic interdependence and the spread of political unrest and conflict have made Americans more aware of the impact of the world on their lives. Yet their understanding of other countries, and the forces that influence their relationships with the United States, is often limited. This course acquaints students with the social, economic and political systems of varied nations around the world; helps them to understand why those nations function in the world community as they do; and explores their problems and prospects.
