International Politics

About this course

International politics examines the relationships between states, international institutions, non-state actors, and the structures of power that shape global affairs. It asks why wars begin and end, how international cooperation is possible, what drives global economic inequality, and how norms of human rights, environmental responsibility, and sovereignty are contested and defended. These questions have never been more pressing, and the discipline draws on political science, history, law, and economics to address them with analytical rigour. At the University of Stirling, this four-year full-time programme with a year abroad gives you a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of international politics. You will engage with the major theoretical frameworks of the discipline, including realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theories, and apply them to contemporary issues
