This module provides an advanced entry-level introduction to the key debates in the contemporary study of International Relations (IR). The module is designed to introduce students to the broad conceptual, historical, methodological and disciplinary themes that have shaped the study of IR from the end of the nineteenth-century. The module locates key texts, ideas and theories in distinct historical contexts (colonialism, two World Wars, the Cold War), illuminating how academic ideas and social practices are shaped by and shape world affairs.
