This course will provide you an understanding of democratic governance concepts and how they are used in today’s society. It will address how the implementation of good governance leads to respect for human rights, the rule of law, and civil society rights, among other things. It will also address how good governance may be achieved via effective involvement, openness, and accountability. The course’s goal is to give students the intellectual foundation and conceptual skills they need to comprehend and analyze crucial issues in democracy and good government. The course also covers policy advocacy, implementation, and assessment, as well as scientific analysis. Throughout the course, comparative methods, quantitative and qualitative analysis of evidence from chosen examples of authoritarian regimes and democratic systems will be studied. Students in this class will be encouraged to work on case studies alone or in small groups, generate suggestions, and explore how to effectively execute those recommendations in their actual case studies. Students should be able to understand and measure global and local conditions for democracy and good governance, improve their ability to analyze and evaluate different communities in terms of good governance, and use good governance and democracy in a hypothetical society to prevent crises at the end of this course.
