Politics and Public Policy
Why do we need politics, or politicians for that matter? What do policies, and the ideological positions that underpin them, actually say about the world – past, present and future?
Explore these questions and more across cultures, continents and centuries - from the Ancient World and Imperial China to present-day Europe, Russia and South America. Ponder the causes of the Holocaust, the Arab-Israeli conflict and Apartheid. How do politics and policies affect specific groups: women, children, minorities, religious groups? Explore cultural, historical, educational, legal, philosophical, religious dimensions.
