Interrogating the ways in which global order has changed over time provides key insights into contemporary challenges in international politics. The specialisation focuses on the historical trajectories of key global institutions, norms and ideas, especially from the perspectives of the Global South. In doing this, you will also critically evaluate the overarching idea of the ‘liberal world order’.

During the MA International Relations you will draw on a multiplicity of perspectives and expertise across the Faculty of Humanities, and examine a range of different issues, from politics and ideologies to the evolution of international law and diplomacy, the emergence of civil society and the rise on non-state actors. The master’s degree in International Relations also explores the development of institutions such as the UN, which structure interactions and power relations within the international system.

During your studies, you are eligible to apply to the prestigious master’s in International Affairs at the School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University in Bologna.
