Welcome to POLS304
Comparative Government and Politics. This module provides students with an
in-depth knowledge and understanding of Comparative Government and Politics, a
dynamic sub-discipline of political science. Students will grapple with the
concepts, theories and methods through which political institutions, politics,
political systems and political societies are analysed and understood. This is
done through an interrogation of country case studies, such as India, Iran,
Mexico, Nigeria, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the
United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The module revolves around
major themes that include political culture; political structures; systems and
processes; political parties and party systems; elections and voting behaviour;
crises, conflict and continuity; and political and economic reform. By the end
of the module, each student will be expected to have a working knowledge of the
concepts, theories and methods of the sub-discipline; be able to employ these
in comparative analysis of the various country case studies; and should be able
to think critically and theoretically about the contemporary political world.

This course focuses on the general characteristics of viruses, viroids, and prions. The lectures will detail how the pathogens are transmitted, how they behave once they are in their respective hosts, and how the infected host will respond to the infection which results in the development of symptoms. Important plant, human, and animal infecting viruses will be used as examples to explain these concepts. The different strategies used to control/manage the diseases caused by these pathogens will be discussed
