2 Online Politics Summer Course Programs in Europe

PPE: Climate Change, Politics, and Environmental Justice is a course that delves into the examination of the political challenges and economic ramifications associated with both the proactive measures and lack of action in addressing anthropogenic climate change, the accelerated warming of the Earth's temperature fueled by fossil fuel consumption and the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The course utilizes case studies at local, national, and international levels to explore these issues comprehensively.

While the world has been moving increasingly towards greater inter-connectivity through trade, infrastructure, communications, and migration, criticism of ‘globalisation’ has been growing ever louder. This wide-ranging course explores the process of globalisation, its macroeconomic implications, and the role of international organisations such as the United Nations. You will examine some of the responses to globalisation, from populist political movements like Brexit and Trumpism to diverse transnational social movements such as Black Lives Matter and the Arab Spring of 2011. In so doing, the programme will engage with ethical and theoretical constructs to help us to understand better the thinking behind the differing dynamics we are examining. This course is perfect for students seeking to understand some of the most significant political phenomena of our time.
