Overview

Understanding key political concepts, ideologies, and practices of national and international governments is essential for providing solutions for sustainable development. This course in Politics, International Studies and Global Sustainable Development (BASc) at the University of Warwick considers testing questions such as:

Why do states marginalise human rights in place of geopolitical aims?

Why has water and food security become a critical foreign policy concern for governments?

Why does political gridlock frequently emerge in discussions on climate change?

Key Facts

You will seek to answer these questions, combining theoretical and analytical approaches from Politics with the transdisciplinary approach of GSD.

By studying GSD, you will confront issues from a diverse array of perspectives. You will need to be ready to think creatively and embrace new opinions from your peers from across the world. We will challenge you to become an active participant in your own learning.

You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
