Political Science B

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 2SK059

The course is divided into three sub-courses. The first sub-course deals with the problems of democracy and contains two parts. The first part deals with normative questions concerning the concept of democracy, arguments for and against democracy, the relationship between democracy, constitutionalism and efficiency, and the relationship between democracy and feminism. In the second part, mainly empirical questions about the prerequisites for democracy as well as its spread, causes and effects are treated. The next part means a choice between a number of sub-courses, where some will be offered during the Autumn semester and some during the Spring semester. The third sub-course offers basic knowledge of scientific methods. You get a first introduction to empirical research and to the way in which different choices of methods affect the design, implementation and results of a research project. The focus of the course is on basic methodological concepts and qualitative methods.
