The MSc Political Thought builds on SOAS’s wealth of regional expertise to offer a new approach to the study of political theory which it sees as tightly linked to practises of global domination and resistance. The degree considers political theory as it emerges from everyday political thinking, philosophical texts, and cultural production. Beyond the regions and traditions that have conventionally framed comparative work and political theory, this degree is unique in teaching students to see how concepts ‘travel’ across the world as a means to examine both political thought and political practice in different times and spaces, with a focus on SOAS’s traditional regions: Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
