Course Details

Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Political Science

Course Description

We ask questions like: why do some crises lead to conflict while others are resolved peacefully? What lessons can we draw from the policy experience of other countries? How ought they to deal with the growing international environmental crisis? Why does democracy survive in some countries and not in others? Can we have both freedom and equality - or must we choose between them? What did the great political thinkers of the past - from Plato to Karl Marx - really say?
