Lecture Three - Political Systems One (Democratic / Authoritarian)

This section forms the first of two that examine divergent political systems. This section focuses on democratic and authoritarian political systems. It begins by describing the two, their similarities and differences. Questions for consideration in this class include:

What different types of political systems exist? What is a democratic political system and how do democracies differ

from one another? What is an authoritarian political system and how do they differ from

one another? Why do states utilise the systems that they do? How can we split the states under discussion on this course between

them? What, if any, are the differences and similarities between the two

systems?

Lecture Four - Political Systems Four (Executive, Legislative, Judiciary, policy process)

This section forms the second of two examining the divergent political systems of those states under analysis on this course. Having explained the basic framework in which states exist, this section explores the roles of different institutions within such states. As such, this section explores the following questions:

What are the roles of the following in both democratic and authoritarian regimes:

o Executive; o Legislative; o Judiciary; and o Policy Process.

What influence does each one have on the political process? How much overlap is there between each of these institutions?

PART TWO – POLICY ISSUES AND RESPONSES.

Having developed a theoretical foundation and holistic understanding of different political institutions, this second part goes onto analyse the responses of states to specific policy issues. Although maybe not overtly stated in this second part of the module it is important that you consider these responses within the context of the theoretical foundation provided in Part One. It is impossible to go through the policy responses of each state discussed in this module. You are encouraged to browse the readings here and through the library to gain further insight into how each state responds to specific issues.

Lecture Five - Trade Policy and Globalisation

What do we mean by trade policy? How important is trade and policy to states? What is trade policy based upon? What is mean by globalisation? What theories of globalisation exist? Is globalisation always positive for states? Can globalisation affect security?
