Course units cover a wide range of global issues, including: authority citizenship foreign policy (both China and US) gender war and peace global ethics human rights media environmental politics security studies terrorism. Two course units form the centrepiece of our course: the Graduate Seminar in International Politics and Critical Thinkers in International Politics.
