Understand the dynamics of global power and economic influence

Political Science: International Relations: Geopolitics and Global Political Economy

Are you interested in the political challenges of a rapidly changing world order? Do you want to understand how economic globalization and geopolitical rivalries shape national politics, international cooperation, and global conflict? Then the specialization in Geopolitics and Global Political Economy is the right choice for you.

The specialization International Relations: Geopolitics and Global Political Economy explores the complex interplay between global power shifts, economic interests, and political influence. You will study how rivalries - such as between the US and China - impact international relations, how access to natural resources and technology drives new forms of conflict, and how global institutions respond to growing inequality and instability.

The start date of this programme is September 1st.
