This programme focuses on international interactions between businesses, national and international political institutions and NGOs, a field that is of ever growing importance in the age of globalisation.

Analysing International Interaction
You are provided with the qualifications required to analyse such interactions in an action-oriented, problem-solving perspective, based on a deeper understanding of all actors.
