Politics MPhil, PhD

At the School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology, we conduct research and offer Ph.D. and MPhil supervision in all major fields of politics, including international and global politics, governance and political organizations, and political theory. We examine the different forms of political participation that link society to the political systems of the world. We look at both the formal electoral process and non-electoral politics (social movements, protest groups, etc). Our research on the emergence of virtual political participation means that some of our work intersects with popular culture and political communication. We investigate: citizen involvement and (dis)engagement social capital non-participation the role of civil society
