    Why does the US only have two parties? Would US politics be less contentious if we have a prime minister and a parliament? Why does the UK not have judicial review, and should we? What impact would changing the voting system have? While typical studies on US government lack answers to these questions, comparative politics has something to say. This course will understand what makes American democracy different from other democracies, and what impact those different choices have on our politics today.
