Decolonising International Relations

The curriculum distinguishes itself by actively questioning how knowledge about international relations is produced and reproduced. You will explore critical themes including:

• The intersection of power, race, class, gender, and geography in global politics.
• Practical expertise in non-violent communication, mediation, and conflict resolution.
• The complexities of terrorism, security, and peace-building.
• The historical and contemporary legacies of international systems.

By shifting the focus toward dialogue rather than debate, the course equips students with the reflective skills necessary to address real-world problems. Whether you are a recent graduate or a professional returning to study, you will engage in a curriculum that balances theoretical rigour with applied, practical problem-solving.
