1 Proposed Course Title: Democratization in Comparative Perspective Calendar description: This course offers a graduate seminar in the study of democratization. Focusing primarily on the countries of the Global South, it explores theories of democratic transition, democratic deepening and the articulation of rights aimed at defending new forms of democratic recognition. The area of geographic concentration will vary with the instructor. 1. Objectives of the course This course offers a graduate seminar in the study of democratization. Focusing primarily on the countries of the Global South, it explores theories of democratic transition, social mobilization and the articulation of rights aimed at defending new forms of democratic recognition. The learning objectives are (1) to understand the historical processes that precipitated the transition from authoritarian rule in the Global South; (2) to compare and contrast different models of democratic governance; (3) to understand the challenges of maintaining and deepening rights of democracy; (4) to understand and assess the dominant explanations for democratization in the Global South; and (5) to explore new trends and challenges in the study of democratization. The proposed course will contribute to many of the university s learning objectives, including especially ones aimed at promoting literacy, moral maturity, global understanding, independent thinking and breadth and depth of understanding in a variety of different methodological and epistemological traditions. Through the research essays and research presentations, students will be expected to read, comprehend and develop a position in relation to the required readings and their independent research topics. The course will be comparative and evaluative, raising important ethical questions about the ways in which and extent to which democratic institutions may contribute to improvements in wellbeing and human rights. It also situates itself in a particular historical context that interrogates the conditions under which democratic institutions have emerged in different social and political settings. In so doing, it will foster an appreciation of historical development and change that contributes to a wider global understanding of the conditions under which states and social movements are contesting the politics of democracy around the world. To achieve the necessary depth of analysis, the course will also be taught by faculty whose regional specialization will foster an analysis that is historically informed. Finally, the course will use the overarching theme of democratization to investigate and evaluate the different methodological terms on which political scientists and social scientists more generally have conceptualized and evaluated democratic processes in different empirical/historical settings. 2. Material to be covered, indicating emphasis and anticipated depth of study The course will cover four central themes: a. Theories of democracy and democratization what is democracy? How is it defined in the academic literature? How can we differentiate and evaluate different models of democratic governance? How have political scientists explained democratic transitions? What are the key concepts and factors being used to explain the transition from authoritarian rule and the consolidation of democracy in the Global South? How do different theoretical perspectives vary in terms of the assumptions and concepts they use to understand and explain democratization? How convincing is their evidence and analysis?
2 b. Democratization in the Global South what explains the transition to and consolidation of democracy in Latin America? How does this compare with the experience in South Asia (e.g. India) and East Asia (e.g. South Korea and Thailand)? What are the challenges and limitations of consolidating democracy in these different contexts? c. Contemporary Issues in Democratization in the contemporary era how do new social movements and technologies affect processes of democratic consolidation and deepening in the Global South? Is globalization a positive force for democracy? How do changing global power dynamics (involving, for instance the relationship between China and the United States) affect the prospects for democracy? How does the expansion of rights on the basis of religious and sexual identity affect the prospects for democratic governance? How do theories of gender inform the study of democracy? 3. Method of course presentation The course will operate in a seminar format, providing substantial opportunity for student-centred learning and engagement. Students will be required lead weekly discussions on the required readings, culminating with a minute presentation of their research proposals (see item #4). 4. Method of evaluation The principal evaluation will be a substantial research essay that explores a selected topic in the study of democratization. The essay writing process will entail the development of a research proposal and the completed essay. In addition, students will be required to present their research, leading the class in a discussion about the topic. The grade breakdown will be as follows: 1. General Participation (participation in seminar discussions, reading presentations): 20% 2. Research Essay: On some aspect of the question of Democratization (25-30 pages): 40% 3. Research Proposal: 20% (5 pages) 4. Research Presentation 20% (in class) 5. Reason for this course offering and intended user group(s) The inspiration for this proposal stems in large part from the feedback the department has received over the years from graduate students seeking a graduate-level offering in the study of democracy and democratization. The department has now supervised a number of students (including Calleja, Speight, Martin, Yaghi, Mitchell and many others) whose research is exploring issues relating to democracy and democratization. The proposed offering will therefore offer an important way of exploring these themes in a class seminar format. The department is also looking to provide a course that a wider range of faculty can teach and to provide an additional thematic offering that captures current research across different geographical and thematic areas. Correspondingly, it is anticipated that the proposed course will take the place of POLS*6370, Latin America and the Caribbean, whose enrolment has in the past been low. The proposed course will be open to MA, PhD and 4 th year undergraduate students.
