This course explores fundamental political concepts such as power, rights, liberty and equality, in a range of contexts and at a variety of levels. It allows students to develop an understanding of the local, national, international, and global dimensions of political activity, as well as allowing them the opportunity to explore political issues affecting their own lives. The course helps students to understand abstract political concepts by grounding them in real world examples and case studies. This course will be an excellent addition and supplement to the courses the students are already taking in the IB History program, building on the foundations established in AP Comparative Government and supporting their studies in 20th Century History. This course provides further study of Comparative Government and prepares students for the IB History course sequence.
