MSc Politics and International Relations (Central Asia) applicants should apply for MSc Politics and International Relations but can decide to follow the Central Asia pathway upon arrival by choosing the pathway’s required combination of modules.SOAS is uniquely positioned to support high-level research and teaching focused on Central Asia and the Caucasus. The Central Asia pathway enables students to acquire a comprehensive understanding of domestic and international politics in a region standing at the crossroads of both Asia and the Middle East, including an appreciation for the role of key external actors such as China, Russia, Turkey, India, and several Western states.From an inquiry into the nature of Soviet and Russian institutional, economic, and ideological legacies to ongoing debates about modernization, political transition, decolonization, and development, this pathway features a wide range of themes including geopolitics, regional security, energy politics, and forms of authoritarian rule, as well as resistance/protest, ethnic and religious identities, migration, and shifting conceptions of “Eurasianism”.
