This specialisation focuses on political challenges for contemporary (non-) democracies, such as new demands on representative institutions and pressures created by migration and demographic change.

In this specialisation you will discuss the challenges facing 21st century (non-)democracies: How are democracies challenged by modern authoritarianism and populism? What new forms of representation are possible? What role can political parties, citizens and social movements play in achieving political change? The Comparative Politics Master’s will provide you with new insights into these questions, and provide you with the theoretical and empirical tools to investigate these questions as an independent researcher.


The Master's in Comparative Politics is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Political Science.
