The course provides students with advanced understanding of key theories and concepts for analysis of international politics. It covers major subjects of international relations, both perennial and of particular concern at the present time, from war and peace to how power and wealth are distributed, cooperation works sometimes (and not at other times), and megatrends such as climate change impacts on global politics.

The course is divided into twelve sessions. Attendance of the sessions is strongly recommended. Students are expected to have read and familiarised themselves with assigned reading prior to each lecture.
