Welcome to the core

Global politics core topics: Understanding power and global politics

There are different ways to approach the core. Some teachers will spend the first year on the core and only do the thematic studies in the second year. The GloPoPolis approach spends the first term covering the essentials from the core. You will cover more core content through the three thematic units.
