International Relations and Economics

About this course

International Relations and Economics at the School of Oriental and African Studies addresses questions about how the world is organised through two interlocking lenses. International relations examines the relationships between states, the institutions through which they cooperate and compete, the causes of conflict and the conditions for peace, and the role of non-state actors from multinational corporations to international NGOs and social movements. Economics provides the analytical tools for understanding how resources are produced and distributed, how trade and investment shape the relative power of states, and how global economic institutions function. SOAS is distinctive as a place to study these subjects. The school's specialism in Africa, Asia and the Middle East means that international relations and economics at SOAS does not take a Western-centric perspective as its default
