POLI 2600

Students analyse the relations between states using frameworks based in political studies. Students examine the evolution of international systems and research East-West and North-South issues through historical and contemporary lenses. Students also ponder techniques of wielding international influence through diplomacy, propaganda, foreign aid, subversion, and war as they assess the sources and nature of international conflict and cooperation. By examining political theory alongside case studies, students gain breadth and depth in knowledge about modern social, economic, and ecological issues. They also develop strategies for making informed decisions to tackle these modern international issues with compassion, a human rights orientation, and a sense of fairness and equality.
