A major newspaper once claimed that “nation-states are too small to fix global problems”. What are these global issues? Can they be fixed? What role do nation-states play in creating and solving these issues? These are some of the questions that we address in this module through various contemporary issues that inform politics globally.

These include:

• climate change
• health
• migration
• populism
• poverty.

Each year, the issues discussed are adapted to reflect latest developments in world politics. This module also gives you the opportunity to explore different ways of communicating your analytical insights by creating documentaries
