POLS 4100 - Democracy

3
Description: This course invites students to think critically about the theory and practice of democracy.  What is it? Why is it valuable?  What gives it authority: procedure or substance?  Who gets to vote and why?  How should minorities be protected?  Can democracy succeed with apathetic, irrational, and/or uninformed voters?
