Course Summary

MSc Politics and International Relations (Africa) applicants should apply for MSc Politics and International Relations but can decide to follow the Africa pathway upon arrival by choosing the pathway's required combination of modules.The Africa pathway explores contemporary debates regarding ideology, power, and political relationships across the African continent: from philosophies of liberation and race to forms of state-building and social protest, from the politics of gender to new forms of global influence and diplomatic power. These themes are not only central to the continent’s politics, but to understanding how the world works and how political ideas are shaped more broadly. From negotiations over the structure of the international economic system to the politics of international justice, human rights, military intervention, and the climate emergency, the politics of Africa cannot be seen as separate from, or peripheral to, politics in the rest of the world.
