These important themes and concepts of contemporary comparative politics include the vibrancy of democracy, the centrality of political and electoral institutions, the possibility of revolution and the power of ethnicity. Cases will be drawn from different countries and historical periods to give students a grounding in the method of comparative analysis. This course is recommended for those thinking about a major, minor, or cluster in political science or international relations and others who are simply interested in learning more about the politics of developed and developing countries. Course Requirements Students are expected to attend lectures every Monday and Wednesday and keep up with the readings. All students will be assigned to a section which meets once a week (most likely on Friday during the normal course time). Attendance is mandatory. Sections will serve as an opportunity to discuss the readings, and thus, regular and active participation is expected. Participation in section will count for 20% of the final grade. An in-class midterm examination will be worth 35% and a final examination will count for 45% of the final grade. According to the Registrars website (http://www.rochester.edu/registrar/pdf/FinalExams_fall2015.pdf), the final exam will tentatively be held Thursday, December 17 at 12:30pm. However, because exam schedules can change, DO NOT arrange to leave for break before the end of the exam period. Barring extraordinary circumstances, there will be no make-up midterm or final exams. An optional 5-7 page paper on the Institutions weeks readings can be written for extra credit. The paper topic will be handed out November 9 and due by 3pm on November 19 (hard copy only, no email submissions accepted). If interested, please contact Professor Meguid.
