Course summary
Are you interested in learning about the issues at the intersections of International Law, European Law, ethics and international politics and how they are all interrelated? The MA in International Law, Ethics and Politics will cover the application of International Law, European Law, ethics and international politics to problems such as poverty reduction; international trade; war and terrorism; climate change; and democracy.
