This course aims to present some of the major topics of the current debate in the field of comparative politics, illustrate the way in which (mostly) quantitative models help understanding the effects of different institutional setups, and provide an in-depth understanding of how the main political processes operate within democratic countries.
The course is usually organized around three separate models, focusing around differeent political institutrions and especially electoral and party systems. It fits into the overall organization of the EPS Master programme by familarizing its students with the empirical test of theoretical oriented hypotheses, and with the relationships between political and economic arenas.
