Politics and International Relations

About this course

Politics and international relations examines the structures and processes through which power is exercised, contested, and legitimised, both within states and across the international system. Politics as a discipline covers democratic theory, comparative government, political parties and elections, public policy, and the relationship between citizens and the institutions that govern them.
