Description

Equipping you to plan and implement Global Politics from day 1, this Course Book has been developed directly with the IB to help you get your programme off the ground.

  • Adopt a fully concept-based approach - the truly concept-based structure drives trans-disciplinary understanding.
  • Build critical thought - student-centered activities drive exploration and analysis.
  • Relate politics to the real world - a rich base of current, engaging case-studies ensures subject material is immediately relevant to learners own experiences.
