PS 1386 - POLITICS OF LEADERSHIP

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The life and work of every politician and statesman is a unique story, which can illustrate much about extremely complex and convoluted nature of politics. This course will study some of the key politicians and statesmen of the 20th and 21st centuries as the positive and negative examples of political leadership. Moreover, relying on the vast scholarly literature on this subject, the course will review different types of leadership (charismatic, institutional, hereditary, and others) in different political systems and regimes (authoritarian, liberal-democratic, and monarchial) and very importantly, will focus on leadership personalities, tactics, techniques and skills in order to fully dissect and understand the key characteristics of good and bad, effective and ineffective leadership.
