If you decide to study Global Politics, this part of the course broadens the focus to include international relations. Here you will look at the big issues that are currently threatening the world, such as terrorism, globalisation and climate change. You will also find out about how the international community attempts to deal with such issues through global and regional organisations such as the UN, NATO and the EU, and evaluate how effective this is. The changing dynamic with Russia and the Ukraine; the perceived threat of China and her human rights record and concerns with the environment are all key issues that you will be able to discuss.

Controversial issues such as abortion, the right to vote and American foreign policy will all be debated.
