WESTERN UNIVERSITY

At Western's Department of Political Science, we convey to our students the power of ideas, the importance of wise public policy, and the necessity of methodological skill. Students are introduced to the great ideas and ideologies, the diverse political institutions in Canada and elsewhere, and the complexities of global politics... We aim to deepen students' understanding of (1) key ideas and values, such as democracy, freedom, justice, and equality; and (2) central institutions and practices, such as the state, law, constitutions, elections, leadership, interest groups, public opinion, political conflict, war, and peace. We enable students to focus on some of the critical issues in modern societies; from the threats of climate change and nuclear war to the promise of global justice, human rights, and the welfare state...
