P S 5741 - European Governments and Politics (3)

When Offered: On Demand
This course provides an overview of the political development of Europe since World War II. We will compare the enduring features of West European politics, such as parliamentary democracy and the welfare state, with the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe, from the Communist seizure of power to the collapse of Communism. We will also explore the common challenges facing Europe today, such as regional integration and the rise of nationalism.
