Document Summary

In this semester we will continue to explore the theories, institutions, and history of politics and government. We will be focusing on two particular areas in this term: first, we will examine the institutional, legal, and social foundations of the canadian state. In the second part of the semester we will examine the international environment, an arena with its own particular political dynamics. In order to fully comprehend the lectures, the relevant weekly readings must be completed prior to each class. Please note that many of the concepts covered in lecture will not be covered in the required readings and vice versa. It is imperative that lectures are attended and that readings are completed. By the end of the course, students will have developed a theoretically and historically informed understanding of the topics covered. Students should be able to discuss contemporary political issues in light of a broader appreciation of the social, political, and historical forces at play.
