Concetti politici. Un'analisi interattiva from edX

Capire i concetti politici, imparare a definirli con precisione senza perdere la loro ricchezza, è il primo passo per diventare protagonisti del mondo politico.Attraverso l’utilizzo di una metodologia innovativa questo corso ti aiuterà ad orientarti nella complessità delle parole chiave della Scienza Politica. Il corso si rivolge a studenti universitari ma anche a tutti coloro che desiderano acquisire strumenti di approfondimento e confronto più rigorosi. Verranno analizzati gli attori cruciali della democrazia, dai partiti alle burocrazie, i sistemi di regolazione della vita politica e sociale, con uno sguardo alla Costituzione e alle politiche di welfare. E si discuteranno le tendenze più rilevanti della politica contemporanea, come il ruolo della personalizzazione nel comportamento elettorale. Le lezioni faranno riferimento al metodo presentato in Hyperpolitics (M. Calise e T. Lowi, University of Chicago Press 2010), un open book, liberamente accessibile in rete e in continua espansione con i contributi di nuovi utenti. Ne risulta un laboratorio che unisce chiarezza argomentativa e selezione delle fonti online per sviluppare l'analisi critica.

Understanding political concepts and learning to define them without simplifying their meaning is the first step to becoming a protagonist in the world of politics. With its innovative methodology, this course will help you find your bearings in the complex world of Political Science terminology. The course is aimed at university students but is open to anyone who wants to further their knowledge and analysis of key terms in Political Science. We will analyze the crucial players in a democracy, from parties to bureaucracies, the systems that regulate politics and society. We will take a brief look at the Constitution and Welfare policies, and discussion will revolve around the main trends in contemporary politics, like the role of personalization in electoral behavior. The lessons make reference to the method presented in Hyperpolitics (M. Calise and T.

The result is a workshop that combines clear argument with careful selection of online sources to develop critical and analytical thinking.
