International Relations University of Nottingham

Overview

This International Relations programme from the University of Nottingham course analyses the relations between states and through the research-led teaching, builds an understanding of issues including global justice, the causes of war, intelligence and national security, and international human rights.

They all have to live with the consequences of state actions, for example, whether countries are receptive or hostile to refugees fleeing war and oppression, or whether there is an adequate response to climate change. International relations form the backdrop to such decisions, and impact the ability as a society to address global problems.
