50484 The New World Politics
8cpDisciplinary Strand – Social, Political and Historical Studies – 300 level
World politics permeates much of our lives, influencing and patterning our behaviour. But how can we understand it? This subject explores recent developments in world politics, covering issues such as war and security, the role of international organisations, markets and corporations, international law and global norms, and the place of the Third World. Issues are debated from a range of perspectives, from state-centred realism, to liberal internationalism, neo-Marxism, feminism, post-colonialism and constructivism. World politics is in a period of turbulence and transformation: the subject investigates the new issues and perspectives.
