Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Firstly, the main objective of the first course aims at introducing students with the particular species of political objects by a vocabulary, tools and methods to identify, name, classify and predict political events (see Introduction to Political Science - partim). Secondly, this second part of the course aims at increasing analysis through case studies, notably concerning issues in relation with democracy.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The case studies of the second part provide students the opportunity to link the theoretical considered during the first course with contemporary political events. The link between "theory" and "practice" is here fundamental.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Both parts have to be followed during the same period.
