You will critique how politics works in a number of different nations and question the appropriate level to analyse politics from the individual to the global system.You will also consider how the work of political theorists can help explain the ways in which politicians intervene in questions of economy, law-making, conflict and the regulation of our daily lives. You will apply these ideas to everyday political problems such as immigration, poverty, war and climate change.
