- Class Notes:
- The delivery modality for POL 4991 005 and related sections 006, 007, 008 is online, synchronous. http://classinfo.umn.edu/?sarbahi+POL4991+Spring2022
- Class Description:
- This is a required course for completion of the Political Science major. The purpose of this capstone course is to provide a common, meaningful, and practical culminating experience for soon-to-be graduating seniors in Political Science. In this course, students will reflect on, articulate, share, and build upon their highly-individualized experiences in the major so that they finish the major with a more complete and synthetic understanding of what they have learned, what their undergraduate work prepares them for, and what questions, old or new, they can and should keep asking, reformulating, and seeking answers for after graduation. In addition, the course is designed to reinforce the fundamental skills associated with evidence-based reasoning and argumentation. These include the location, evaluation, and presentation of different sources of evidence as well as employment of different forms of analysis.The course is organized around the theme of ‘Democracy under Threat'. This theme stems from the widespread consensus among scholars and observers of democracy that democracy is on the decline around the world. The most recent Freedom House report documents the 14th successive year of decline in global freedom. The most notable aspect of the current phase of democratic decline is that it is affecting the more advanced and established democracies of the world including those in the West. Over the course of this semester, we will be addressing some of the major challenges confronting democracy across the world and will accord special attention to recent developments in the United States. We will approach these challenges from a comparative perspective engaging evidence, accounts, and arguments from across the world.The delivery modality for POL 4991 005 and the related sections 006, 007, and 008 is online, synchronous.
