Instructor: Michael McDavid, BA, MA European History, MA Library Science
Since civilizations first arose, monarchy was the dominant political system around the world. In the 21st century, monarchies have become a dwindling minority in a sea of republics. This course will be a survey of nations that continue today as monarchies. We will look at how surviving monarchies have evolved to meet the demands of modern times. Included in the survey will be historical background, current monarchs and their extended families, and a look at how today’s monarchs fit into democratic systems as well as those who exercise genuine political power.
