As is now tradition at the end of the second academic semester, on May 27, a discussion was held with graduating political science students on the topic “Political Institutions and Systems Matter.”

The goal of the meeting was to explore possible ways to improve the academic courses “Comparative Politics: Political Institutions and Systems of Western European Countries” (for undergraduate students majoring in Political Science) and “Comparative Analysis of Political Institutions and Systems in Central and Eastern European Countries” (for master’s students), both taught within the Jean Monnet Module “Political Institutions and Systems in Europe: Comparisons and Lessons for Ukraine.”

Students of both courses shared what they most appreciated during their study of political institutions within the program, as well as what they felt was missing due to various reasons. They also offered suggestions for addressing those gaps. A short questionnaire additionally helped to collect their insights.

In a more informal setting, students and other interested participants (members of the SAP “Polis”, the Center for Political Studies, and junior students) engaged in a discussion about the importance of learning from the institutional experiences of Western and Central-Eastern European countries, particularly in the context of Ukraine’s European integration and its aspirations for democratization.

We sincerely thank all participants for their active engagement and genuine interest!
