POLITICS B.A (Hons)

Politics at Keele gives you the means to understand society and the events and forces which shape it, engaging with questions of power, justice, conflict, legitimacy, accountability, and governance. Politics is not just the concern of politicians. It is about big issues, such as who makes decisions after Brexit, what should we be doing about the environment and how should we protect human rights. It also encompasses the values we hold and how we act upon them. The repercussions of the #metoo movement are an example of how politics goes far beyond issues of law and policy. Politcal engagement can change lives and encourage changes in government in the UK and elsewhere. You will explore why citizens are increasingly disillusioned with politics; what a democracy is; when and how it’s legitimate to protest; and the effects of different models of government.
