The course is offered for all the Erasmus students of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The aim of the course is to provide, from a cognitive and methodological point of view, a comparison of “Old Southern” Europe. It includes lectures by guest speakers on the political systems of the individual countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece) and then comparative presentations on important areas of their political systems (economy, society, relations with the EU, the effects of the economic crisis and social movements), while also examining particular implications (disruption or weakness of the political community, as is the cases in Catalonia and southern Italy).

The course will take place every Wednesday at 15:00-18:00 (Athens time zone). The first class is scheduled for 3rd of March 2021.
