What Will I Learn?
This course covers the major political issues defining the 21st century across eight core areas: democratic systems and elections, authoritarianism, geopolitics, political economy, identity and social movements, climate politics, and digital governance. You will learn to apply established political science frameworks to real-world events, evaluate sources critically, and understand how ideology shapes policy. You will also develop practical skills in comparative policy analysis, political communication, research methods, and conflict resolution. By the end, you will be equipped to analyze political developments with the same tools used by professional researchers and policy analysts.
