The seminar will provide students with an understanding of the basic concepts and methods of political science, to explain how political power has been analysed and limited. Besides studying the debates surrounding the political science’s definition and methods of analysis, the seminar will highlight the main actors and processes that bring political phenomena to life.
The first semester will focus on actors (such as voters, political parties, or trade unions) and processes, to build a theorical frame, that will be used during the second semester, to analyse different political systems, especially France and the United States. The seminar will therefore combine a theoretical approach, by studying political theory; and a practical approach, by examining comparative politics.
