The objective of this course is to examine the American right in comparative context with an emphasis on discussing how scholarship defines key terms, engaging various empirical cases from around the world ranging from Hungary to Turkey to India, and placing particular emphasis on linking theory with practice by inviting experts and scholars from within and beyond academia to discuss contemporary developments in global politics. We will closely consider major themes and concepts from other introductory political science courses such as democratic backsliding, global populism, the administrative state, and varieties of conservatism and partisanship. There are no prerequisites for this course and students from fields outside political science and international studies are strongly encouraged to participate. Dean's Teaching Fellowship.
