Overview

We will also investigate the widely different character and circumstances of states, examining the implications of the highly uneven distribution of power, money, welfare and knowledge in the international system for the foreign policies of states towards each other, and for the maintenance of international order.

Students on this International Relations degree from London School of Economics and Political Science also have the opportunity to receive a language specialism attached to their degree certificate and transcript - see the programme structure and courses section.
