The course introduces bachelor's program students to the basics of political science as a social science discipline. The course is divided into three blocks.
In the first block, we will first become familiar with the fundamentals - the definition, development, and method of political science, as well as basic concepts and ideologies. In the second block, we will focus on institutions, actors, and processes examined in comparative politics.
In the third block, we will then address selected current topics - populism and democratic innovations. The third block serves as an invitation to further advanced courses.
