Protests on the streets, politicians on the campaign trail, complaints to local councillors, conflicts at work, European summits – all are part of the everyday life of politics. Politics is about how we figure out what our society should look like, but it is also about power, patronage and inequality. This degree allows students to explore the various ways that politics shapes our lives, the different forms that politics takes, and how politics is organised differently around the world. Politics at Maynooth is distinctive in its concern with active citizenship, its international focus, its emphasis on the wide varieties of forms of politics and a central concern with the tensions between democracy, power and inequality. |
