About This Course
Political science curricula critically examine the use of power from local to global levels, including regional perspectives. Modules cover topics such as African and global politics, comparative politics, governance, international relations, political theory, and conflict resolution. Rooted in ancient Greek philosophy by Plato and Aristotle, political science has evolved to explore not only how societies are governed but also the political relationships between nations, with International Relations being a key component of modern studies.
