| Course contents : | The main objective of the course seeks to challenge the concept of "democracy" and to list all the significations this concept possesses.
This is a large objective since we will study politics, parties, ideologies, political programmes, institutions and actors in both Belgium and the European Union. Sometimes when it is useful, we will also study the question through an historical and a comparative perspective with other nations all around the world.
This is also a very focused objective since the all courses will be about and only about democracy. |
