AP Comparative Government

The AP Comparative Government course focuses on the political institutions and processes of six different countries—China, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, and the United Kingdom—and compares the ways they address problems.  Students will look at political parties and electoral systems, regimes and governments, economic and political change over time, and political culture and behaviors.  Students will connect political concepts to real-world situations and analyze data to find patterns and trends across political systems.  Students will be tasked with projects, case studies, and written assessments in conjunction with preparation for the final AP exam in May.
