Comparative politics is the study of domestic and regional political matters in each state and area. However, this course concentrates on the study of domestic governments and politics and its environment and culture in two or three states as specific case studies in six areas: Western Europe, Russia and Slavic Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Within each region, we will cover both past and current topics, issues, and events of the states. Other states are considered when suitable. Although the United States is not directly examined, it is referred to for comparison. The thematic focus of the course is valuing the diversity of human experience.
