- Inhalt
- Political opposition is an essential yet understudied phenomenon of politics. Having a legitimitate opposition criticizing and scrutinizing the government is a defining feature of democratic systems. Opposition occurs both in institutionalized forms (e.g. in parliaments and elections) and in more flexible ways (e.g. protests, social movements). While non-democratic systems generally try to suppress opposition, contestation occurs in such systems as well and can threaten to destabilize the system, either from the outside (e.g. via mass protests) or from within (e.g. via internal coups within the governing elite). Thus, understanding various types of opposition is essential for comparative politics.
This seminar will provide an overview on the (scattered) research on oppositions in democratic and non-democratic systems with a focus on the former. We first discuss the concept of opposition and its different forms. In the second part of the course, we look at opposition actors, their powers and behavior in democratic systems trying to understand variation within democratic systems and over time. We will also look at recent examples where the fundamental consensus on the role and legitimacy of opposition has come under pressure. In the third part, we take a briefer look at opposition in non-democratic systems and its contribution to system transformation.
