Main themes
The objective of the course of comparative political regimes is to present an overview of the major contemporary political regimes. Even if the aim is to focus on democratic regimes, their genesis is compared to the origins of non-democratic regimes at the same epoch. After a definition and a typology of the diverse political regimes, the course will therefore address, through a comparative historical analysis, the diverging paths initiated under the Industrial Revolution leading to the emergence of contrasting political regimes in the twentieth century. The third moment of the course will be devoted to the major current political regimes.
