If you are intrigued by politics, the ideas and interests that shape our world, how various governments maintain their political structure and interact among each other, then you may want to consider studying Politics and International Studies.

China has been seen to influence Asean’s joint communiqué on the territorial disputes in the South China Seas, the first time in history that the Foreign Ministers of the 10 member states of ASEAN failed to issue a joint statement. What are the mechanics and impact of such an action? Has this happened before in other political contexts, and if so, what are its consequences? Studying the field of Politics and International Studies will give you an insight into such political changes that happen around us.

A student of Politics and International Studies will study topics ranging from revolutions, political parties, voting behavior, and public policy. You will explore the political structure and their issues from varying parts of the world like Middle East, East Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. You will also examine so pressing political and social issues of the contemporary world.

What you will bring from the study of this discipline is to have a critical analysis on the dynamics of politics and policies that impact every global citizen.
