Course Description
Overview
It’s almost impossible to separate a single country’s politics from the interconnected world of international relations. So many of the world’s big issues – from economic crises, to terrorism, to climate change, to transnational crime – are problems for domestic governments and for the international community alike. Studying International Relations and Politics, you’ll explore the close links between domestic and international politics. You’ll be encouraged to think about who has power in the world today, and how to understand, explain and critique national and international events and processes. You’ll have the chance to be taught by leading experts in the field. In the most recent Times Higher Education REF Analysis (2021), UEA was ranked 14th overall for research quality in Politics and International Studies.
About This Course
On your BA International Relations and Politics degree, you’ll engage with the key issues and debates in politics and international relations. Among others, these include: the political systems of powerful countries in different regions such as the United States, the EU, China and Japan in East Asia, or India; the causes and significance of different types of conflict; and the role of the media in shaping domestic politics and foreign policy.
But studying politics and international relations at university is not only about issues – it’s also about ideas. What role do norms or values such as human rights or gender equality play in domestic and global politics? Do our moral responsibilities extend beyond the borders of the country into which we happened to be born? Why should you vote – or fight, or protest, or campaign? And what should you vote, fight, protest or campaign for: freedom, equality, justice, and democracy?
This course will provide you with the necessary knowledge and study skills to gain a sophisticated understanding of the interconnection between domestic and international politics. You’ll be taught by academic staff who are active in research and experts in their field.
During the course, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in study trips, internships and placements in the UK and Europe. You’ll also have the option of a semester abroad in your second year.
