(220 for PPE and History and Politics)

<aside> 🗒️ In this paper we will focus on the political attitudes, values and behaviour of people in different societies. You will study the politicisation of social cleavages (divisions) such as class, race and ethnicity, gender, religion, and nationality; changing social values and attitudes, including the impact of the media; political engagement and participation (such as turnout and protest politics); and how people influence the institutional structure through revolutions and civil wars and also, in stable democracies, welfare states.
