PULCINI GIORDANA
(programma)
Questo corso esamina i sistemi politici dei vari Stati nazionali europei. L'attenzione si concentra sulle principali scissioni politiche in ciascuno di essi, come la classe, l'ideologia, l'etnia e la religione, e su come queste divisioni hanno influenzato il campo di gioco politico. Ulteriori argomenti includono il nazionalismo, la cittadinanza, le strutture dei partiti, il corporativismo, lo stato sociale e la politica elettorale. Un'attenzione particolare sarà rivolta alle recenti sfide sintomatiche per la democrazia europea. Nel confrontare in dettaglio le caratteristiche di questi diversi sistemi democratici e metterli in relazione con il loro contesto storico e culturale, ci concentreremo su tre grandi sfide comuni a tutte queste democrazie: la diminuzione del livello di partecipazione, soprattutto per quanto riguarda l'affluenza alle urne; il declino dei grandi partiti politici, che solleva la questione di chi, in futuro, medierà tra gli interessi dei cittadini e quelli dello Stato; e la percezione che le principali decisioni nei paesi democratici sono sempre più spesso prese al di fuori dell'ambito delle istituzioni democratiche.
Il corso è impartito in lingua inglese.
