Class was on one building but I went to another building. Starting from 9:00 a.m. till 4:00pm, I completed the definition of comparative politics and some of the theoretical documents.
In class, we talked and discussed a lot on the Thai current issue instead of comparative topic. However, it needs to understand where we are, I mean Thai politics before we step further to other countries to compare. The System paradigm such as political system, political culture, political socialisation, and so on are pretty much important for this class. In fact, the basic approach for political comparison is "SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES". This is mean and method. It is the way com pare one country to another country. In term of the similarities, we shall select the most similar countries to compare in order to sort out the differences. In reverse, we select the most different countries to compare in order to sourt out the similarities. Later, we frame our comparison by implementing the suitable paradigms or approaches for instance, system thoery.
Time passed very quick. Finally, the class was assigned to do two tasks for this course: Group paper and individual paper. I eariler assigned them these tasks so that they can have enough time to complete their tasks before the final exam.
