POLI 184 SC - Qualitative Approaches to Comparative Political Analysis
This is an advanced seminar that introduces majors to debates and methods in qualitative approaches to analyzing and explaining political phenomena. We will focus on what the comparative method allows us to know about politics, and study how comparativists pose and answer research questions and approach causality, through case studies, comparative historical analysis, process tracing, discourse analysis, and interpretive methods. Readings will pair methods with literatures on topics like democratization, social movements, ethnic conflict, nationalism, and political violence, and students will produce original research plans. Recommended for students planning to write theses in comparative politics. Meets the Social Science general education requirement.
