About This Course 

(This course will be taught in French)

Politics impact all of us: everyday political decisions concern many areas of our lives. In which context are these decisions made? In the 21st century, many paradoxes blur our vision of these decisions. What is power in a multi-level society? Does the state remain the main political actor, if it is in competition with international and regional organizations? Can democracy -- pushed forward by the international community -- coexist with authoritarian, or even totalitarian, regimes? What is the role of citizens in regard to ideologies? The course aims at understanding and explaining political phenomena from a critical standpoint.
