The focus of most courses lies on the comparative analysis of political institutions (e.g. electoral systems, parliaments, governments) and collective political actors (e.g. parties, interest groups). Geographically, we focus on advanced western democracies (e.g. Germany, France, Great Britain, USA). However, we also regularly offer courses about Middle Eastern, Asian or African countries.
