FROM THE TEACHER

Are you interested in learning more about how government and politics work at a global level? If so, Comparative World Government is the class for you! In Comparative World Government, we will look at a multitude of political philosophies, perspectives, and systems. Rather than focusing on one specific country’s government, we will analyze how governments work in general and delve into how the governments of various nations function. There will be plenty of opportunities to express your own thoughts and opinions on politics and current events, as well as hear and learn from your classmates. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity not only to learn about how governments around the world work, but how we, as individuals and groups, can play a role in influencing our world for the better.

If there are books and materials for this course, they can be purchased from our Online Bookstore.
