Module Indicative Content
The module will investigate some of those issues in the contemporary world which have arisen as a result of globalisation. Problems
such as human rights violations, poverty, migration, terrorism, and trade in arms affect all countries, whether in the North or South.
These issues will be examined from a multidisciplinary perspective, in an attempt to breakdown traditional academic distinctions
between politics and international relations.
