At the end of this module students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of/explanation for the seismic political changes which were witnessed in the United States and the United Kingdom over the course of the last few years. They will evidence a thoroughgoing familiarity with the contrasting arguments for those successes and be able to contextualise and deconstruct those arguments. Students will also be able to offer evidence-based arguments as to the implications of these changes for global politics in respect of trade, diplomacy, security and human rights. They will similarly be able to make evidence-based arguments as to whether these political changes in the US and UK are particular to those two political systems or that they have a wider relevance and applicability to advanced democracies.
