The course introduces you to the question of who has power in society, and the notion of politics as a central feature of our lives. Whilst the focus is on Democracy we are interested in exploring the ways in which different societies make decisions. The primary focus of our first year will be the Government and Politics of Britain whilst in year two we study The United States of America. In both years we are concerned with how the respective system works, and the ways in which people and groups can influence the politicians. Throughout there will be an emphasis on understanding contemporary issues, as well as on placing these issues in an historical context. The course will empower you to become a more active, engaged citizen even if that means you reject the system or those with power.
