Overview courses UZH on the topic of Democracy and Democratization
Here is an overwiew of lectures on democracy and democratization at the University of Zurich.
The courses on offer aim to measure democracy and its global spread, as well as processes of democratization in various parts of the world. In methodological terms, the approaches covered are pluralistic. Typically, courses focus on specific regions or contexts (e.g., multicultural societies), but most of them are also conceived to provide students with a more general understanding of the various theories developed to study democracy and democratization.
