  • Overview

    This course will expose students to a range of issues found in the study of British politics. These issues may include the impact of new or recent constitutional changes (such as devolution and new electoral systems) on British democracy, as well as changes in the organisational structures of political parties and the governing style of politicians. Important internal political issues will also include developments in multiculturalism, civil liberties, the media and politics, the role of interest groups, and the links between citizens and their government. Other topics will deal with external factors, such as the impact of the European Union on Britain, British foreign and security policy, and economic interdependence. Students will investigate and discuss issues like these critically, in a seminar format that will include presentations.
    By the end of this course students will be able to:
    Analyse and explain significant issues in British politics
    Evaluate the works of scholars who have written about British political issues
    Apply the knowledge gained in the process of evaluating and discussing the literature
