International and Comparative Politics

 
 

 

 
 

Students of International and Comparative Politics at The American University of Paris examine the interrelated nature of political institutions and processes, their historical and geographical development, and their impact on an increasingly interdependent world.

 

International and Comparative Politics aims to study in a systematic, interdisciplinary fashion how values and resources are allocated among individuals, groups, socio-economic classes, regions, nation-states and international actors.

 

The program provides students with rigorous analytical tools to understand the complex political issues and relationships of the 21st century.
