Address some of the most pressing questions in political life. What is politics for - to bring real freedom and equality for all human beings, to realise justice, or to prevent human beings from killing one another in large numbers? What do we owe the global poor? Can we close our borders? Where does power lie in democracies?
On this course, you’ll explore these topics in greater depth and from different perspectives. The course draws on our internationally recognized teaching and research strengths in analytical political philosophy, intellectual history and critical theory.
You'll be encouraged to attend regular research seminars, where the best current work in political theory is presented by staff and eminent guest speakers from all over the world.
