(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.

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.

Once you have chosen the elective subject from your TRACK—in case you want to do it—you can meet with your supervisor and show them your calendar. Together you will decide the exact schedule for your internship. As an approximation, you should do about 150 hours (corresponding to a 6 ECTS module).
