| Description |
An examination of political institutions and the study of political institutions focused on the United States. Provides an overview of the various problems for which institutional solutions are sought (e.g., problems involving collective action, delegation, and social choice) as well as a detailed assessment of some of the scholarly literature that investigates political institutions. We will cover executive, judicial, and legislative politics, but the course may focus more heavily on legislative institutions and politics given the instructor's expertise. |
