熟悉比較政治的分析方法、主要議題。Be familiar with the analytical methods and main issues of comparative politics.
比較政治的研究，依據性質與主題的不同，有兩種研究取向：一個是比較政府、一個是比較政治。比較政府是以區域或國家為對象，討論不同區域或不同國家的政治。比較政治則是依據主題，再從不同個案中建立中、高層次的理論。本課程的內容依據後者設計，探討比較政治中幾個重要的議題，他們可以分為：
1. 總體層次：政治系統論、國家理論、社會與經濟、現代化理論、依賴理論與發展型國家模式比較等。
2. 中層層次：比較憲政制度（總統制、議會制、半總統制等）、比較選舉制度等。
3. 個體層次：理性抉擇、政治行為（族群衝突、投票行為等）、政黨與政府組成、國會研究等。
本課程彙整以上幾個重要的主題，討論當代比較政治的重要議題，希望幫助同學對比較政治建立一個較為巨觀的視野。
The study of comparative politics has two research orientations depending on its nature and theme: one is comparative government and the other is comparative politics. Comparative government takes a region or a country as an object and discusses the politics of different regions or countries. Comparative politics is based on the theme and then establishes medium and high-level theories from different cases. The content of this course is designed based on the latter and explores several important issues in comparative politics. They can be divided into:
1. Overall level: political system theory, state theory, society and economy, modernization theory, dependence theory and comparison of developmental state models, etc.
2. Middle level: comparative constitutional systems (presidential system, parliamentary system, semi-presidential system, etc.), comparative electoral systems, etc.
3. Individual level: rational decision-making, political behavior (ethnic conflicts, voting behavior, etc.), political party and government formation, parliamentary research, etc.
This course brings together the above important themes and discusses important issues in contemporary comparative politics, hoping to help students establish a broader perspective on comparative politics.
