(Un)ruling the World. Politics and Ideologies

Since 1945 the world has witnessed solid political and ideological bases. Nevertheless, certain issues seem to cyclically come back into the spotlight. The purpose of this track is to analyze the political arrangement of a number of different countries, as well as of Europe, so as to understand why certain elements of political ideology are on the rise again to shatter current political and social structures. 

• Student profile: 

This International Track (IT) is addressed to students (from other universities) from all bachelor's degrees interested in complementing their basic training with a selection of specific subjects in matters related to politics and ideologies. No previous knowledge in this field is needed to enroll in the IT. The final decision will be made by the academic coordinator of the programme.
