Georgetown - Democracy & Democratization

This graduate seminar addresses the main topics and readings on democracy and democratization within the field of comparative politics. Although I presume that many students have a particular geographic focus in their own research, the course is intentionally organized along substantive lines, rather than by country or region. This will allow us to maintain a common ground for discussion and debate throughout the semester. Within this broad structure, however, we will be covering a wide variety of democratic and democratizing countries, and the discussion should not shy away from specific examples. In fact, it is expected that students will become familiar with, and knowledgeable about, an array of different regions around the world. The more important objective of the course, however, is to familiarize students with the central topics, arguments, and scholars in the literature on democracy and democratization.

Georgetown - Theories of Political Development

This course offers a critical examination of the theoretical assumptions and normative orientations that have shaped the study of 'political development' over the last half-century. We begin by tracing the rise of the 'liberal modernization' paradigm, as illustrated by the work of Gabriel Almond, G. Powell, Seymour Martin Lipset and Karl Deutsch. We then consider the rise of the "institutionalists," such as Samuel Huntington, and the forging of a 'conservative-traditionalist' approach as evidenced in the work of Clifford Geertz, Howard Wiarda, Lloyd and Susanne Rudolph, Arendt Lijphart and Iliya Harik. We then explore the field of political economy and 'dependency' by focusing on the writings of Guillermo O'Donnell. Finally we analyze 'transitions from authoritarianism' and the politics of economic reform by reading studies by Alfred Stepan, David Collier, Stephen Haggard, Robert Kaufman and Peter Evans. Case studies are drawn from a wide variety of regions and countries including Egypt, Nigeria, Malaysia, India, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, and the 'Asian Tigers.' [Comparative Government]
