Gov60- Introduction to Comparative Government (CMC Study Guide)
Posted by Andrew under: College; Study Guides .
Professor Chamorel arrived at CMC in 2002 predicting ” a competition of ideas about Europe within American decision-making circles.” Little did he know that his lecture on “Anti-Europeanism and Euroskepticism in the United States” would become very popular in the years to follow.
Taking Gov 60 from Professor Chamorel taught me the importance of such terms as the “transatlantic relationship,” “euroskepticism,” “questioning time,” and “cohabitation.”
Although your class may not be taught by Professor Chamorel, let’s hope that your Gov60 class will be as enlightening as mine. Each professor is different in their teachings of Comparative Government, and I would suggest to study for this class like a history class (memorizing dates and concepts). Hopefully, these study guides may help you:

(Lijphart, Gallagher, Sodaro, Judt, Chamorel, Newhouse, Van Oudenaren, Dinan, Calleo, Graham, Walt, Kagan, Gordon, Layne, and Kupchan)- This guide covers EVERYTHING (aspects of comparative government in Europe [corporatism, right-left parties, courts, interests, etc.]), the transatlantic relationship, and the EU.
Just remember: In the words of Patrick Chamorel, do not forget about the tree, while writing about the forest. But also do not sacrifice the forest at the expense of the tree.
