The academic discipline of International Relations traditionally focuses on political relationships between sovereign nation-states and non-state actors in the modern world. This module aims to understand our contemporary international system using three frameworks: realism, liberalism and identity theory. We pay special attention to the role of natural resources in conflict as these resources are directly related to many fields of engineering. There will also be a historical analysis, because you cannot understand our contemporary system, without understanding the events that have shaped it!
