About Global Political Studies
Get the tools to answer the big questions.
How does world trade affect politics in different countries and the balance of rich and poor nations?
How does the Internet affect diplomacy and social movements? In Global Political Studies, you will develop strategies to think critically about how global, national, and local politics interact, and more.
Studying with internationally renowned instructors, you'll learn diverse ways of thinking about "the global" and globalization, as well as political community; diversity and inequality; and transformations in global, regional and domestic politics. You'll study power and its abuses, and war and conflict, but also rights and responsibilities and democratic possibilities.
You'll be encouraged to engage your peers in open discussions about some of the world's most contentious political issues. We aim to empower you, as you study how people act politically to create change.
