What will I learn?
This course provides you with a rigorous, structured understanding of democratic systems from the ground up. You will study the historical origins of democratic thought, the mechanics of electoral systems, and how constitutions protect rights and distribute power. You will analyse political parties, civil society, media environments, and public opinion as forces that shape governance. You will also examine how democracies erode, what tactics undermine them, and how citizens and institutions can push back. By the end, you will be equipped to assess democratic health, interpret political events, and contribute meaningfully to democratic life.
