Beschreibung
Many political processes have strong spatial dimensions: geographical patterns of violent conflict, spatial clusters of voting behavior or uneven institution-building. Understanding the determinants and outcomes of spatial political patterns poses specific theoretical and methodological challenges. The seminar provides an applied introduction into methods and tools of political geography focusing on spatial dimensions of violent conflict, development and state-building at the subnational level. The first part of the seminar will introduce the broad themes and key concepts of political geography. The second part will provide a general overview and critical appraisal of various sources of spatial data. The third part of the course will focus on basic methods of visualization and analysis of spatial data in qualitative and quantitative research designs. The course will include a hands-on introduction into the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using the open source software Quantum GIS (QGIS).
