Study Notes
Introduction to Comparative Politics
- Comparative politics is the study of political phenomena in multiple settings, drawing general theoretical statements.
- Key questions include: who holds power, why, and why people behave politically in different ways.
- Formal and informal political structures, such as pluralistic vs. elite systems, matter for political analysis.
- Political actions, such as voting and protests, and violence are further considerations.
Basic Approaches
- Rational Choice: This approach assumes actors are rational, calculating costs and benefits, and maximizing preferences when making decisions. An example is voting based on party track records and manifestos.
- Psychological Model: This approach analyzes preferences and recognizes the role of rationality, emotions and identity in political action. Factors of identity and group membership are also significant drivers.
The Modern State
- The "state" is a set of institutions that govern laws and public policies within a specific territory.
- A regime is a system of rules that govern political activity, including power structure.
- A "nation" is a large aggregate of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language.
- Key characteristics of the state include: territory and sovereignty; the recognized right to rule (legitimacy); and a bureaucracy.
- A "strong" state can provide essential services, while a "weak" state struggles.
Social Group Identity and Political Behavior
- Social group identity plays a role in shaping political behavior.
- Beliefs, values, and cultures contribute to preferences, which are influenced by social cues and norms.
Theories Explaining State Development
- War and economic development can motivate state development.
- States that can efficiently extract resources, tax populations effectively, and engage citizens tend to do better.
- Colonial legacies often shape post-colonial state development.
Social Democracy
- Basic requirements of liberal democracy include civil and political liberties protected by the state.
- Social democracy enhances these liberties with social and economic rights.
- The role of the state expands in social democracies.
Socialism/Communism Regimes
- These regimes are based on the ideas of Karl Marx, arguing class struggle reflects underlying economic structures.
- Capitalism supposedly exploits the working class.
- Communism seeks to establish a stateless society where ownership of the means of production is collective.
Fascism
- This regime type prioritizes the nation over individuals, often with an emphasis on nationalism and the leader's power.
- The state works closely with business interests, and there's a suppression of individual rights.
Authoritarianism
- Authoritarian regimes do not aspire to direct citizens’ personal lives but instead control their political participation.
- Authoritarian regimes seek to control political behavior through repression.
Electoral Systems
- Single-member districts (SMDs) typically produce two-party systems, leading to a higher sense of voter identification with representatives.
- Proportional Representation (PR) systems allow for more representation of diverse views/groups but can lead to unstable legislatures.
- Party discipline is more common in parliamentary systems in which legislators vote in blocs,.
Nationalism and Immigration
- Nationalism is a unifying force in several countries.
- Immigrants may face differing levels of access to political rights.
- Intersectionality is important for understanding the interplay of identities and experiences for any group.
