International Policymaking in Practice (POLS90034)

In this subject, students work in teams to transfer their knowledge of global politics gained in the Master's degree to practical, real world problems in international relations. Using the research and critical thinking skills they have developed, students will identify pressing political issues, analyse their key drivers, and develop a research, policy, or campaign project to address them. Students will, in turn, develop a deeper understanding of political interests and identities in global politics, with emphasis on the fundamental role of power . Students will gain experience in project design and teamwork and will develop professional writing and oral presentation skills relevant to communicating project goals and outcomes to different stakeholders. Where possible, relevant stakeholders will be invited to discuss project outcomes with students.
