POLSC 219 - American Political Development
Credits: 4
An examination of American political history, with a particular focus on institutions. Readings, which examine critical events from the 19th and 20th centuries, discuss how crisis, conflict, and parties have produced a stronger national government in the United States. We also consider how American political institutions shape individual identity, and we explore the link between institutional change and policy content. Discussions revolve around the costs and benefits of building a stronger federal state and how changes in the federal state complement or contradict constitutional principles.
Distribution Requirements: CL, SB.
