课程特征 Course Features：
The strength of our degree is the way in which we encourage you to get to the heart of how and why things happen. We use theory as a means to understand the big picture but also to investigate specific events such as the reemergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan; US intervention in Iraq; peacekeeping missions in Kosovo and Bosnia; and the inability of the UN to prevent genocide in Rwanda.
We will encourage you to put yourself in the position of the policy makers and politicians who shaped events like these and to ask yourself if, armed with the same information and choices, whether you would make the same decisions. You may also get the chance hear first-hand accounts from the politicians, military commanders, aid workers, journalists and activists involved.
With a keen focus on contemporary issues, our teaching is informed by up to the minute thinking and research. You’ll draw on sources such as the latest think tank reports and policy texts and will be taught by academics whose opinions are sought by the media to give expert insight on current events happening around the world.
