Why are wars, crises and human catastrophes a regular feature of the global landscape? What can we as individuals, communities, states and societies do to make a difference? This course introduces students to core theories, concepts and debates within global and foreign policy, and the approaches used to analyze these issues. Equal emphasis is placed on both the causes of policy issues and the policymaking challenges of operating within a fragmented international system. The course will include an introduction to themes such as security, conflict and diplomacy; human security and migration; as well as development and sustainability.
