Department of Politics and International Relations
At the heart of current political thinking, research and debate.
Research
We're shaping global debates and breaking new ground to address the world's most pressing challenges.
At the forefront of the discipline, our research sparks action and influences policymaking.
To study politics and international relations is to ask fundamental questions about the nature of the world - about war and peace, wealth and power, order and justice. At York, you'll have the opportunity to learn about these and other themes in a variety of different contexts, guided by our world-class researchers and teachers.
