Annotation

Global challenges, such as the effects of climate change, migration or the rapid development of digital technologies, are putting the current world order under pressure.

Every day, international organisations, states, civil society and private actors negotiate, advise and argue between their own interests and conflict and crisis prevention when dealing with these challenges of global governance. The Covid-19 pandemic has impressively highlighted the centrality of these domestic and foreign policy processes.

As part of the interdisciplinary two-year Master's degree programme in "International Relations & Global Politics | IRGP", our students learn to independently ask the decisive questions about precisely those challenges and to develop research-based solutions.
