It’s about contests for power and how we make decisions in society: who gets what, when and how, from the local community to the global level. It’s concerned with the conflict of ideas and values. It has to do with who governs, and how and why decisions that affect all of us (such as how much students should pay to study at university or whether the UN should sanction military interventions) are made. Small class sizes and enthusiastic lecturers At Massey, politics is taught in a small interdisciplinary programme where you have regular and close contact with academic staff.
