Provides an introduction to comparative politics by giving students an opportunity to read, discuss, and write about canonical works in the field. Students will learn to use a generic framework to make sense of the methodological and explanatory choices made in any piece of comparative politics research, and to understand the strengths and weaknesses that attend those choices.
