Teaching Comparative Government and Politics

Teaching resource


While preparing the entry on the EU Parliament, I came across the web site for Civitas, The Institute for the Study of Civil Society.

In the "See also" section, I referred to one of the 75+ Factsheets on the EU Civitas has published online. The Factsheets are "Balanced... tailored to A-level curricula," and "Designed to enable the reader to choose how far they wish to delve into the EU."

The ones I've looked at are good and would be useful in teaching about the EU.

You can download them as .pdf files or print them or direct your students (with questions) to them directly. This could be an alternative to using the EU web site for the most basic research.

Bonus
There are also 8 Factsheets on healthcare in 8 countries (UK, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the USA) that could be used as the basis for a comparative exercise to teach comparative method, even though only one of the countries is part of the AP6.
