International Relations, MA (Hons)

International Relations examines actions and challenges that transcend national boundaries, along with the resulting conflicts and cooperation efforts. It addresses how states navigate a highly complex, interconnected world, tackling issues such as climate change, global economic inequality, and interstate war, while questioning whether concepts like state power, sovereignty, democracy, justice, legitimacy, and order require reevaluation at the international level.Guided by leading academics, the field explores the origins and evolution of the state system, the emergence of global non-state actors, the influence of international institutions, and the forces driving cooperation and conflict.
