Party democracy and its challenges (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Michelangelo Vercesi
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 12.10.2020 - 29.01.2021 | Online-Veranstaltung
Inhalt: The course deals with a classic topic of Comparative Politics: the role of political parties in modern democracies and the challenges faced by party democracy. The subject is relevant in a twofold sense: because parties play a crucial role in making modern liberal-democracies work and democracies are changing and under stress from many viewpoints. Along the seminar’s path, the main features of party democracy and crucial pressures it is subject too will be addressed. Besides an introduction and a conclusion, the seminar will be structured in three parts: the features of party democracy; the deficits of party democracy, especially in terms of political representation and inclusion; as well as contemporary domestic and international challenges to party democracy. To name a few, the seminar will focus on salient issues of gender inequality, migrants’ representation, populism, technocracy, presidentialization, and climate change.
Political Institutions in Europe (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Falk Daviter
Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 12.10.2020 - 29.01.2021 | Online-Veranstaltung
Inhalt: The seminar introduces students to an institutional perspective on EU politics. It first discusses the core political institutions of the EU from an intra-institutional and inter-institutional perspective. It then examines the institutional foundations of multi-level governance. Throughout the discussion we draw on core themes and concepts of comparative political studies, such as parliamentary democracy, federalism, or agencification, to gain a better analytical understanding of how EU institutions compare across levels and sectors, and how they work.
