This course explores the nexus between the citizen and policy making in an age of globalization across a range of political systems. It seeks to find out how well this connection is working and what variables are associated with effective citizen participation. The course also explores the ways in which our notions of democrazy and human rights may need to be enlarged in a global era and at both national and transnational movements for democracy, economic justice, and environmental sustainability.
