POSC 323 - Contemporary Political Theory 3 Credit Hours
This course examines 20th and 21st century political thought on the relationships between education, political conversation, and decision-making in democracy. Does democracy require well-informed people who discuss, debate, and consider their political concerns together. How can we ensure everyone is invited to political conversations and not marginalized? We will study theories of media, elite party management, and voter marginalization. We will look at arguments for new ways to make democracy work better. Students will participate together in deliberation and debate exercises and consider the impact the exercises have on their political positions and the question of whether democracy works.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in social sciences.
