Grow your understanding of our modern era of globalization through an introduction to the rich diversity of political life outside the United States. Employ a comparative approach to examine political structures and policies, (as well as the political, economic, and social challenges) of selected countries, including China, Great Britain, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, and Russia. Students compare and contrast political institutions and processes, while also analyzing and interpreting data to derive generalizations. 

In this course, examine how different governments solve similar problems by comparing the effectiveness of approaches to global issues. This course prepares students for the AP® Comparative Government and Politics exam.
