4 NATURE OF THE SUBJECT The focus of World Politics and International Relations is to familiarise students with a framework for understanding the perspectives, behaviours, and decision-making processes of governments, international organizations and other associated national and sub-national groups. The actions of organizations studied will focus on international relations and the motivation for political decisions reached. Considerable attention will be given to the definition and role of national self-interest, including the needs of subgroups and the historical development of national perspectives that predispose states, international organizations, national and sub-national groups to perceive and act in predictable ways. GROUP 3 AIMS The aims of all subjects in group 3, individuals and societies, are to: 1. encourage the systematic and critical study of: human experience and behaviour; physical, political, economic and social environments; the history and development of social and cultural institutions 2. develop in the student the capacity to identify, to analyse critically and to evaluate theories, concepts and arguments about the nature and activities of the individual and society 3. enable the student to collect, describe, analyse and interpret complex data and source material and to test hypotheses 4. develop an awareness in the student that human attitudes and beliefs are widely diverse and that the study of society requires an appreciation of such diversity 5. enable the student to recognize that the knowledge and methodologies of the subjects in group 3 are contestable and that their study requires the acceptance of uncertainty. WORLD POLITICS AIMS The aims of the world politics SL course are to: 1. provide students with a core knowledge of world political discourse and international relations theory 2. encourage students to think critically about world politics and international relations 3. promote an awareness and understanding of the history and development of world political organizations, institutions and relationships 4. promote an appreciation of the way in which what has been learned is relevant to both the culture in which the student lives and the culture of other societies 5. allow the student to become keenly aware of the interdependence and diversity of global realities 6. develop an awareness of different cultural and ideological interpretations of political events and theories.
