Contemporary Political Actors and Institutions is an introduction to the Catalan and Spanish political system. Analysis of political institutions, political parties and other emerging political actors in Catalonia and Spain.
Comparative approach to the diversity of political cultures, from the point of view of the typology of institutions, on a world scale.
It also introduces constant reference to comparative experience in administration, public management, and public policy, with case studies in different political and cultural contexts. Its main objective is that students know these theoretical and empirical references and that they know how to use them in interpreting the dynamics of operation and change in administrations and public policies.
Note: The course content will be sensitive to issues related to gender perspective and the use of inclusive language.

Continuous assessment
The continuous assessment system for the subject is based on the following percentages:
A) 40% Knowledge control: final theoretical test. The theoretical test must be approved (5 or more) to pass the subject (essential condition).
B) 30% Completion and presentation of practical exercises. The practices will be done in the classroom.
C) 30% Completion of final project. The work will be done in teams.
Single assessment
The single assessment system for the subject is based on the following percentages:
A) 50% Theoretical test. It must be approved (5 or more) to pass the subject (essential condition) (The exam model is different from that of continuous assessment).
B) 50% Submission of a final project.
Students who have not submitted at least 2/3 of the assignments, have not taken the final exam or have not submitted the final assignment for the subject will be considered "non-evaluable".
Retake: continuous assessment
a) According to regulations, in order to participate in the retake process, students must have previously been assessed for at least 2/3 of the total assessable activities of the subject.
b) Theory can only be retaken if the student has taken the theoretical exam set for continuous assessment and has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. The retake exam will consist of a written test to assess theoretical knowledge.
c) The final assignment for the subject (30%) is an assessable assignment that cannot be retaken if it is failed. The reason is that doing work of this nature is practically impossible to do with the time available for retake.
Retake: single assessment
a) According to regulations, in order to participate in the retake process, students must have previously been assessed on at least 2/3 of the total assessable activities of the subject.
b) The theory test can only be retaken if the student has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. The retake test will consist of a written test to assess theoretical knowledge.
