Course Overview

The BA International Governance and Public Policy is an interdisciplinary program combining elements of three subjects: international relations and diplomacy, international business, and international law. This combination of academic subjects will enable students to understand the major political, business, and legal aspects of how international processes are organized and governed. The major discipline in this degree program is international relations (IR). International relations are based on a range of other disciplines in the social sciences: politics, sociology and (international) law, and the humanities €“ primarily history. The political aspect of the subject analyses the distribution of resources. In examining the related questions of power, order, justice, conflict, and legitimacy in the interaction of people, ideas, and institutions, international relations are, however, different from other approaches to politics.
