Global Power & Politics

About

The Option in Global Power & Politics is offered by the Global Politics Section within the Department of Political Studies. It is intended for students interested in developing a critical understanding of the formal and informal, visible and hidden structures of power in the global age. A critical approach starts from the premise that the most urgent political problems of our time pose fundamental moral problems that require not only goodwill and commitment, but a deep understanding of the mechanisms of global power and politics. From imperialism and resource wars to the corruption of both liberal democracy and socialism, as well as the ubiquitous rise of inequality. those who desire to make a difference must seek this expanded knowledge. While housed in the social sciences, the option also seeks to appeal to politically-minded students in the sciences and the humanities.

An option is a "mini-minor”a set of courses in one discipline that can be completed in conjunction with any undergraduate degree program, allowing you to focus on an additional subject of interest.
