POSC 3750U – American Politics and Political Culture


This course will provide an introduction to U.S. government and politics within an analytical framework that helps us understand how institutions structure incentives and decisions in the U.S. system. This course examines the history that forged contemporary American political institutions and political culture to understand how these institutions can provide both opportunities for political change and great challenges to that change. We investigate what forces make American institutions different from Canadian institutions and why. Current American political issues will also be examined especially as they affect Canadian policy and politics.
