LoginDepartment of Political Studies
Political Studies examines how people organize their collective affairs with special emphasis on political ideas, government, processes, institutions, and behaviour. It is the study of conflict, power, and the formulation of decisions that all citizens respect and follow. The discipline is commonly divided into a number of subfields, the most prominent being political theory, national government, comparative government and international relations. According to the subfield, students learn about elections, public policy, political and legal institutions, ideology, nation-state, war and diplomacy.
