<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western">Course description Democracy, governance and regime change are not only crucial phenomena in any political system but also core concepts of political science. In the first part of the seminar, students introduce main concepts and types of democratic and non-democratic regimes as well as governance. This part ends with a debate on the universality of democracy. In the second part, students learn how political regimes change and which endogenous and exogenous factors drive regime change. Special attention will be paid to the relationship between religion and democracy. In the third part, we apply these concepts, assess political regimes in developing and OECD countries and interpret current indices that aim at measuring the quality of political regimes. This part also offers insights into the current international debate on global democratic trends. During the fourth part of the seminar, we focus on international support to democracy. The knowledge of strategies and instruments as well as the effectiveness of international support to democracy allows students to discuss the legitimacy of international efforts to promote democracy. A talk of a practitioner from Germany’s development cooperation will shed light on the legitimacy, challenges and opportunities of international support to democracy in developing countries.Learning objectives: Students get to know core concepts of democracy, governance and regime change and learn how to apply them in empirical research. With regard to soft skill students are invited to improve their skills in sound argumentation, presentation and scientific writing.</div>
