The fundamental goal of the course is twofold. First, it is to introduce students to one of the sub-fields within the

2. Explore major social, political, economic, and cultural factors that influence the functions of various political systems;
3. Examine how governments operate in several major countries in the world;
4. Shed some light on global trends of sociopolitical development.
这门课程的基本目标是双重的:首先,它向学生介绍政治学学科的一个子领域——比较政治学。第二,运用比较政治的理
论框架和概念,比较和研究不同的政治制度。具体说来,有以下几点:
1、介绍比较政治学的主要理论框架和概念;
2、探索影响各种政治制度功能的主要社会、政治、经济和文化因素;
3、考察世界上几个主要国家的政府是如何运作的;
4 阐明全球社会政治发展趋势。

similarities and differences among different types of political systems.
简而言之,希望这门课程的学习,学生不仅能更好地理解中国以外的政治,还能掌握一些理论和概念框架,以便学生讨论
