Program Description

You should get a deeper understanding of the rationale for and value of cooperative relationships between nations, and of the foreign policy challenges. The world is becoming ever more interdependent with the resulting global socio-political changes. This includes the rising cost of foreign aid and the impact of non-English speaking immigrants within the education system – increasingly affecting people at a local level.

You will examine major themes of post-war international politics, including:

• the dominant relationship between the superpowers
• the consequences of decolonisation
• the emergence of the 'Third World'
• the spread of revolutionary wars
• the development of European integration and
• the spread and final collapse of communism and its effect on world politics at the end of the Cold War.

In a globalised world where companies increasingly do business across national boundaries, you can benefit from your in-depth understanding of the international political, commercial, social and cultural landscape. Your insight should appeal to many employers – from media outlets to multinationals, the civil service to the European Parliament, NGOs or think tanks. This course allows you to debate issues at the forefront of the international relations discipline. When you successfully graduate, you should have developed a range of transferrable skills, including excellent communications, critical thinking and analysis, strong presentation and listening skills. These are highly valued by employers.
