PSCI 312 - Democratic Theory

4 credits
Democratic theory is one of the most important themes of contemporary political science. Democratization is a vital phenomenon studied by political scientists and the health of established democracies is an ongoing point discussed within the discipline. This course examines the historical debates that have animated political theory for over two thousand years and helps place those debates in a contemporary context. After providing that background, students are introduced to many 20th and 21st century theorists and the theoretical discourse as it has developed in the last 50 years. CLA-Writing Intensive
