Course Overview

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. On the social policy strand of the course, youll examine why governments take particular decisions in key policy areas. You will also explore in-depth, the outcomes and consequences of various government policies on the economy and society. In addition to this, 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 what impact official politics has on such processes, how politics is intertwined with the profit-making aims pursued by big corporations and how their combined interests dominate our social imaginations. You will investigate the economic, social, and political forces which influence government decision-making and examine why governments take particular decisions at global, national, and local levels of government. You will also study the nature of policy delivery and management by various organizations, such as local governments, schools, and businesses, which will equip you for a range of career paths.
