POLITICAL SCIENCE

The study of politics is concerned with how power and authority permeate almost every aspect of our lives---from the state to the courtroom, boardroom, work place, and the family. Political Science is concerned not only with how power and authority are exercised, but also with how these relationships are transformed. We are interested in the forces that sustain consensus as well as in the forces that bring about change.

Course offerings include Canadian Government and Politics, International Relations, Political Culture of Race and Racism, Global Political Economy, Culture and Communication, and Peace Research.
