Democracy has been spreading around the globe - but not everywhere. When and why do stable democracies emerge? Taking a comparative perspective with an emphasis on Europe and the Americas, this course examines the links between Democracy and Social Change. It analyzes how democracy is related to socioeconomic development and shifting class structures, whether it is associated with cultural change, and how globalization affects the future of democracy.
