Global Politics and Development Minor
Minor in Global Politics and Development
The Minor in Global Politics and Development offers students the opportunity to take courses in a range of subjects from different disciplines that will foster critical understanding and awareness about international politics, inequality, and conflict, and to apply this knowledge to their own disciplines.
The Minor in Global Politics and Development critically examines conflict and power in the international system, and development issues in the global South, from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. The Minor bridges disciplines and critically reflects on the evolution and character of relations between governments, between governments and international institutions, and between governments and societies and social movements, as well as the benefits and consequences of globalization.
