In this program, youll explore the major political and social issues faced by governments across the world. You will develop a knowledge and understanding of the international state system, the structure, and purpose of international organizations, and the roles played by international institutions, other intergovernmental organizations, multinational corporations, and NGOs. Important strengths of the program include its focus on key contemporary issues in international relations and policy, such as global economic change and the environment as well as international comparisons of government policies. On the sociology strand of the course, youll gain an in-depth understanding of social processes, organizational dynamics, and inter-group relationships. We explore the social constraints we encounter in our everyday lives and how they are reinforced by class, race, religion, and gender. To understand how these issues perpetuate existing inequalities and unequal life chances, we analyze how politics is intertwined with the profit-making aims pursued by big corporations and how their combined interests dominate our social imaginations. When learning about contemporary topics such as inequality, racism, health, migration, sexuality, identity, education, the media, crime, and climate change, you will be taught by experts in these fields.
