The aim of this module is to provide an advanced understanding of major theoretical, empirical and substantive issues in the politics of Europe, both at domestic and EU-levels. After examining the methodology of comparison, the module's primary focus is on the political systems of Europe in a comparative context, through the prisms of executive-legislative relations, political parties, elections, and patterns of political representation. Core themes include the emergence of illiberal as well as liberal variants of democracy, the origins of new populism and the differences between extreme-right nationalist and left-wing variants; central themes in the political discourse of European societies, particularly in the way democracy itself functions.
