Immerse Education International Relations at Oxford University

International relations is a field of study that examines the interactions of participants in international politics, including both governments and non-state entities. The study of international relations involves problems such as: What powers does the UN truly have? What power does the United Nations Security Council wield over the rest of the world? What treaties and economic agreements have influenced relations between countries that were at war only a few decades ago? Over the course of two weeks of interactive lessons, you will investigate these and other problems, as well as global concerns, group debates, and other topics.

Example Modules

• **The Middle East In International Relations: **Home to the world’s three great religions and harbouring massive quantities of oil and gas, the Middle East seems to invite geopolitical attention almost by default. Nowhere else are the failings of economic and political development so closely intertwined in producing international conflict. In this module, you will explore the key international actors in this region.
• The Role Of Ideas In International Relations: As new global priorities have emerged in recent decades, nation states and other global actors have increasingly demonstrated their ‘social’ side in such fields as climate change, international human rights, and international aid. This class explores the role of ideas in IR, an approach that is typically captured by the term “Constructivism”.
• The Project of a European Union: Today, the EU has a total population of more than 500 million people. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the European Union in today’s increasingly globalised world? This module focuses on understanding the internal structure of the EU and assesses its capabilities as a political actor in internal and external affairs.
• United Nations Simulation: You will be assigned a country to represent at a high-level diplomatic meeting of the UN Security Council and to write a position paper about your country’s foreign policy regarding a topical political scenario. You must then present and defend your country's position on the matter, working to form alliances in accordance with its goals.
