Si alguna vez te has preguntado “¿Qué es la Democracia?”, este curso es para ti. Este estudio comparativo de la política abarca una amplia variedad de aspectos y temas.

El curso comienza con una definición del método comparativo y una orientación especial a la formación del concepto y los enfoques históricos e institucionales. Destaca la forma en la que se gobiernan los regímenes democráticos y la forma en la que las legislaciones electorales impactan no solo en los partidos y en el sistema de partidos, sino también en los ciudadanos.

Estudiaremos las diferentes formas de gobierno, su estructura y participación, para llegar a una comprensión de las dinámicas de las coaliciones de gobierno y sus cambios. Juntos, evaluaremos los valores y las responsabilidades de las diferentes estructuras y enfoques institucionales.

La última parte del curso se centrará en la efectividad de los distintos regímenes democráticos y evaluará propuestas para el cambio. El cuadro general emergente mostrará la existencia de varias soluciones institucionales para los retos y los problemas de las democracias contemporáneas.
