Government and Politics

Course summary

Politics is essentially a study of the complex interplay between political institutions, individuals, ideas and events, which provides a broad and deep understanding of how human beings choose to organise complex social affairs. Politics helps individuals understand the world around them; everything from the morality of war to the merits of progressive income tax. The study of Politics has never been more useful, necessary and interesting in the wake of the Brexit decision, the onset of the Trump presidency, and the rise of the 'rest' against the 'West'.
