This International Master in Regional Integration programme examines the origins and consequences (for nation states as well as firms and citizens) of efforts and strategies to redraw boundaries of authority at the regional level in the context of intensified globalization. Using an interdisciplinary and compratative approach, the programme focuses on explanations of the intensity and type of authority shift to regional institutions across issues and cross regions. It places particular emphasis on understanding the relationship between regional integration and processes of economic globalization, the development of new forms of governance, and the reconfiguration of the state.
OBJECTIVES
The programme aims to critically asses the significance of regional integration in terms of theoretical, conceptual and empirical debates from a range of social science disciplines. On completion of this programme, students should have:
1. Arrived at an informed understanding of how regional integration and globalisation are conceptualized and theorised.
2. Interpreted current process associated with regional integration, including national development, economic interdependence and globalisation, the emergence of new forms of governance, the structural context in which these take place and their political economic, legal and social consequences; and
3. Developed key transferable analytical, interpretative, organisational, written and oral presentational skills.
TARGET STUDENTS
This programme is designed for students for whom an MA will be a prelude to careers in fields related to business, international, regional, government and non-governmental organisations, as well as teaching journalism or any career where advanced knowledge of regional integration and globalisation coupled with an advanced capacity to communicate effectively will be an advantage. It will appeal particularly to those with an interests in the economic, political, legal and social issues that arise from intensified regional integration on a worldwide scale.
