An optional core Politics module from:

Foundations of Political Theory and Topics in Political Theory

The Foundations of Political Theory module offers an in-depth exploration of contemporary normative political theory, focusing on the essential thinkers, themes, and ethical considerations of political life. It sets the stage for analysing critical contemporary issues, including immigration, education, representation, and climate change, within the framework of normative political theory.

Building on this groundwork, the Topics in Political Theory module introduces students to crucial arguments and discussions in modern European political theory. Students will engage in critical analysis of concepts such as freedom, equality, democracy, revolution, and crisis, as articulated by seminal political thinkers from around 1640 onwards. Additionally, the module examines the relevance of these theories to current political debates, including issues of gender and sexual diversity, economic turmoil, colonial reparations, and the rise of far-right ideologies.
