GOVT 6483
Authoritarianism and Democracy

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Democracy has been in retreat on the global stage for much of the past two decades, reversing many of the democratic gains of the post-Cold War period.  What explains this reversal of fortunes, and what, if anything, can be done about it?  This course examines democracy in theory and in practice, exploring the origins and institutional forms of democratic rule, transitions to and from democracy, the fragilities and discontents that leave democratic regimes vulnerable to "backsliding," and the institutional and civil society sources of democratic resiliency.      

When Offered Fall.
