About International Politics, MSc - at SOAS University of London

The MSc International Politics explores key issues and debates in world politics from a variety of perspectives. We cover important questions such as: Why do wars happen? Is global peace possible? How is power exercised in international politics? What are the conditions for cooperation among states? How does migration challenge and change the international political order?

See Department of Politics and International Studies

We look at orthodox answers to such questions and interrogate them through a variety of critical, non-Western and marginalised views. Students will utilise different theoretical lenses in combination with SOAS's rich empirical expertise, and are invited to examine the dynamics of world politics from the perspective of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

We also interrogate how international politics is informed by questions of empire, colonialism, race, gender and class.
