GOVT4604: Advanced Topics in Politics and IR
This unit presents a set of four 'master classes' on contemporary issues in politics and international relations. Each master class is taught by an expert in the field, using the latest high-level literature on the topic as a base line to establish the topic, look at conventional and unconventional understandings of the topic, and provide a foundation for students to explore the topic using their own understandings of theory and practice in politics and international relations. At the end of the course, the students will have produced a series of provocative responses to the master class topics, and a depth analysis of one topic of their choice.
