POLS 645 Voting Behavior and Political Parties

A graduate seminar that treats elections as the meeting point between two puzzles: why parties organize and compete the way they do across different systems, and why individual voters actually pick whom they pick. You'll read empirical journal articles each week, write response papers, sit a midterm, and produce a research essay that engages seriously with theories like economic voting, issue voting, partisanship, and ideological congruence. It assumes you're comfortable with quantitative social science and gives you the conceptual toolkit for original work on parties, polarization, or representation downstream.
