Course Overview

In this course, youll study the practical and theoretical aspects of modern politics and international relations, and thereby gain insights into our past, present, and future on both a local and global scale. Youll examine relevant political debates from a historical, philosophical, and sociological perspective. In doing so, we€˜ll go beyond the €˜high politics of traditional theories and the workings of parliaments. Instead, youll be able to develop your own specialisms in areas such as global diplomacy, international relations, and international issues like climate change; protest movements like Black Lives Matter; the devolution of power away from central government; the politics of the new media; the politics of gender, and the place of race in modern society. Our specialist modules such as Race, Racism and Cultural Identity, Wrestling with Trump: the WWE and Modern Political Culture, and Politics and Social Media will allow you to engage with contemporary issues, developing a deeper understanding of modern politics.
