Introduction  to  Political  Science




 Objectives The  course  Introduction  to  Political  Science  offers  students  a  first  introduction  to  the central  concepts  and  questions  of  Political  Science.  The  core  idea  is  that  politics  concerns conflict  as  well  as  cooperation  regarding  matters  that  have  to  be  organised  for  large groups  of  people.  By  using  core  concepts  such  as  conflict,  cooperation,  interests  and power  and  a  number  of  key  political  science  questions,  students  should  be  able  to independently  analyse  political  developments  and  events.  Moreover,  this  course  aims  to educate  students  on  the  functioning  of  political  systems,  introduce  important  political science  theories,  and  offer  students  insight  into  the  ways  important  societal developments  have  affected  politics  over  the  last  few  decades. 

  Content Nation-states  are  among  the  main  political  structures  that  shape  conflict  and cooperation.  The  course  therefore  extensively  focuses  on  states,  state  formation,  the social  reality  of  nations  and  nation-states  and  pathways  to  democratisation.  It  will discuss  the  origins  of  various  modern  democratic  and  semi-democratic  states,  including the  Netherlands  and  the  United  States,  but  also  other  European  and  non-European countries. Based  on systematic  comparisons  of  states  we  will  develop  an  understanding  of  divisions of  power  and  how  conflicts  originate  and  develop  within  countries.  This  makes  it possible  to  assess  which  characteristics  are  unique  to  Dutch  politics  and  which  elements are  part  of  a  broader  pattern  in  democratic  societies.  One  of  the  more  remarkable  and recent  features  has  been  the  fragmentation  and  instability  of  the  party-political landscape.  Did  voters  become  detached  from  party  politics,  or  are  we  dealing  with  logical consequences  of  a  societal  development  that  has  been  going  on  for  decades?   Numerous  actors  play  a  part  in  political  processes.  The  course  will  specifically  examine the  role  of  political  parties,  interest  groups,  voters,  and  the  media  in  contemporary democracies.  Notwithstanding  the  overall  importance  of  states,  they  do  not  singlehandedly  shape  the  way  conflict  and  cooperation originate  and  develop  over  time.   Moreover,  the  position  of  the  state  is  challenged  by  the  emergence  of  trans-national institutions  such  as  the  European  Union,  or  economic  developments  usually  discussed under  the  umbrella  of  globalisation  or  trans-nationalisation.  Therefore  we  also  examine the  various  ways  in  which  different  political  structures  –  including  states  –  are  subject to  change.
