Introduction to Global Politics - POIR615

Old ways of examining international politics may need rethinking. This unit introduces students to the key issues, institutions, ideas and structures that are at the forefront of the changes reshaping the world we live in. Knowledge, power, interests, centre-periphery, resistance and reaction are key concepts covered in this unit, with the aim of giving students the foundations for understanding global politics and the tools necessary for undertaking postgraduate study in politics and international relations and in public policy.
