Description

Most observers think US democracy is in big trouble. How much trouble? How did we get here? How do we fix things? We will tackle these questions by comparing the US to other long-standing democracies, and by comparing today's situation to America's recent past. Some knowledge of US politics or comparative politics is required.

Class Format:

Weekly lectures for this course will be recorded and made available asynchronously. However, we will also meet synchronously throughout the term.
