International Politics
An International Politics degree at City will help you find answers to the many questions about our changing world. We are a growing community of students and academics dedicated to exploring power, global transformations and new security challenges in the 21st century.
Our academic staff have expertise in:
- development and globalisation
- civil society and social movements
- history and religion
- global political economy
- governance and international institutions.
Geographically our research and teaching focus on, but are not confined to: Europe, North America, Africa, the Middle East, Russia and the former USSR.
Our approach to International Politics aims to be relevant for understanding power in the 21st century. Elaborating on traditional themes in International Relations, we focus on issues underpinning global policy-making.
Our students study the complexities of economic, social and political transformations that continue to reshape power.
