PSC 2030-SOC 2030 . Designed to introduce the study of Comparative Politics by using the examples of five of the political systems in Europe-the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia-and the European Union. Comparative Politics seeks to find unique characteristics of different political systems. It tries to achieve this by examining domestic as well as international factors that affect politics in each political system. There are numerous issues that affect the politics of any state.

Through comparisons, students are expected to come to understand certain patterns of political decision making under different political settings.
