Description

A basic survey course of government regime types. Rules of law (liberal democracies) are compared to rules of men (autocracies, one-party states and monarchies) and rules of religious leaders (theocracies) as these regime types have been found in the past and present. Special emphasis is given to the challenge of creating a rule of law in newly established democracies. Core: Social Sciences requirement.
