1. International Power Structure and Geopolitical Trends

You will analyze changes in the global balance of power and examine how shifts in strategic alliances, political institutions, and regional dynamics affect international stability and governance.

3. Global Governance and Institutional Analysis

You will examine the role and responses of international and regional organizations in addressing global challenges and mediating state behavior.
