Focusing on the interface of theories of the good society, globalisation, legitimacy and power. Political theory is the soul of political science: it’s not about determining what the facts are but about determining what they mean and what should be done with them.

What will you learn?

This Master’s specialisation offers students an unprecedented opportunity to learn to assess political values, aspirations and dreams in terms of their desirability and reasonability. You will also discover how political theoretical work can be introduced fruitfully in other relevant contexts. This will enable you to help civil initiatives and governmental institutions, not to mention the public at large by imagining and designing policies and ambitions that are both viable and defensible.
