The master's program Global Politics aims towards you who are interested in global political issues. You will learn how an increasingly complex world, where the global and the local meet, presents us with new challenges and opportunities. The program provides you with a solid practical base concerning concepts like justice, peace, security, power, culture, and democracy. You will learn how to analyze conflicts, international relations, and human rights claims and violations.
This is a multi-disciplinary program with a core of political science that addresses aspects of international relations, human rights, and peace and conflict studies. The focus lies on the transformation of society, especially concerning the relationship between the state and other actors such as international organizations and companies.
Changes in political control, from reduced central control to a greater degree of network control will also be addressed. You will analyze the growing importance of international norms, such as human rights. The emergence of other conflict patterns than those related to socio-economic resources (such as culture, ideology, and religion) is an important part of the courses.
We live in interesting times. Our news tells us that the world is changing rapidly – political and economic institutions once seen as permanent appear increasingly fragile and subject to change. Yet, despite various moments of so-called ‘crisis’ in which change might be expected, we see significant levels of continuity concerning the underlying policies and actors governing that world.
Is the US losing power? Are the so-called BRICs taking over? What is the future of democracy? Is conflict increasing? And why does neoliberalism remain so resilient despite the financial crisis and ongoing economic instability? Only through developing expertise and forming new knowledge can we begin to understand these questions to ensure the world is managed optimally.
This two-year master's program draws on the one-year master’s in political science, with additional opportunities for an internship, exchange studies, or elective courses. This provides you with the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and gain practical experience, as well as the chance to develop relationships and network with people and organizations working on political and global issues.
The program is thoroughly interdisciplinary and draws on the different strengths from fields within the Department of Global Political Studies, including international relations, peace and conflict studies, human rights, public policy, but also ethnography, and philosophy. To gain a deeper understanding of the changes in political science, we consider four key development areas:
