Overview

Why study International Relations?

• What are the main characteristics of the international order?
• How has globalisation changed international relations?
• To what extent is the international order based on conflict or cooperation?
• How is the global financial crisis affecting international politics?
• Do foreign military interventions in civil wars help or hinder peace-making?
• Why are economic resources so unevenly spread across the world, and what are the prospects for global justice?
