International Relations and Music

About this course

International relations and music is an unusual combination, but one with genuine intellectual merit. International relations examines the global political system, asking how states, international institutions, and non-state actors interact, how conflicts arise and are resolved, and how the norms, laws, and power dynamics of the international order shape what is possible for different peoples and societies. Music examines the organised use of sound across cultures, time periods, and traditions, developing both analytical skills and cultural understanding of one of humanity's most universal and varied creative practices. At the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, this three-year full-time programme benefits from SOAS's extraordinary depth in non-Western cultures and music traditions. The music strand at SOAS is distinctive in the UK for its engagement with the music of Asia
