Political Science 3308F – Informal Global Governance

Political Science is offering a brand-new course taught by Dr. Tieku and Dr. Hannah in Summer 2021: POL 3308F – Informal Global Governance. This course critically analyses informal governance, laws, practices, processes and norms, covering key global issues including peace, war, economy, gender, race, environment, internet and health. It also investigates everyday practices of states, non-state actors and informality in major international organizations, such as the UN, EU, AU and ASEAN. The course will be offered during the first three weeks in May 2021.

There is also a new interdisciplinary certificate in Law and Public Policy which students can add to any degree at King's. This certificate is designed to introduce students to the study of law and policy development with a focus on the application of core legal concepts such as the rule of law, civil liberties and rights as they are practiced in Canada and internationally, as well as the application of legal principles to the study of public policy. More information about the certificate is available here. If you want to add the certificate to your degree at King's, or have any questions, please contact Jessica Sommers.
