Why study International Relations?

The minor in international relations will give students understanding of the nature and exercise of power in world politics; the origins, constitution and development of the international system; how ideas shape order, justice and security; the dynamics of global security and the global political economy; the interplay between domestic, international and transnational politics, and a range of state and non-state actors. It will provide students with foundational knowledge of core issues in world politics, and different theoretical approaches and conceptual frameworks for understanding world politics. Graduates of this minor will be able to apply theories of, and concepts in, international relations to make sense of world politics, problem-solve in complex political terrains, critically analyse and synthesise information to provide guidance in foreign policy, think strategically and ethically about national interests, communicate effectively, apply their knowledge to a rapidly shifting global landscape, and translate learning into policy, engagement and impact. Graduates of this minor will be global citizens, aware of and sensitive to cultural difference, and motivated to make positive change through global engagement.
