Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - International Relations and Global Development (13LL)

What does international relations look like when we view it from beyond the developed world? We start our thinking about global politics and development with our intellectual feet deliberately planted outside the powerful, prosperous and dominant West in order to bring a fresh, questioning attitude to the study of world politics. The degree provides insights into the political, social, economic, and cultural changes affecting the developing world and emerging powers. It challenges the Eurocentric narratives of international politics by studying the interconnectedness of the developed and developing powers, engaging with marginalised issues and voices, as well as exploring the emerging global powers in Latin America, South Asia and the Far East. Students will also study key issues such as colonialism, inequality, development, gender, identity, political economy, culture, race, religion, resistance and social movements.
