Warwick's International Politics and East Asia MA combines strong disciplinary expertise with genuine regional expertise to assess a range of issues in the region including security, development, financial crises, institutions, the role of great powers, as well as the importance of the wider global context.
The course combines disciplinary studies in international politics with an explicit focus on East Asia.
