Introduction to Political Science

Political Science is about the different processes by which all kinds of resources are allocated. Who gets what, when, where, how and why in the domestic political and international system? In this course we introduce the conflict around these resources through basic concepts of political science including power, ideology, democracy, the state, society and the different relationships between them. Much of this is viewed through the predominant lens of globalization which is a central focus of the course and allows for an interdisciplinary perspective.
