Action-oriented and problem solving
This interdisciplinary programme focuses on international interactions between businesses, national and international political institutions, and NGOs, a field which is of ever growing importance in the age of globalisation.
You will obtain the qualifications required to analyse such interactions in an action-oriented, problem solving perspective, based on a deeper understanding of all actors. The perspective is to qualify students for careers in all three types of organisations.
Unique interdisciplinarity
The programme combines business and management studies, political science and international political economy, and international law.
You will get in-depth knowledge of:
  • the internationalisation of business and the strategies of transnational corporations, emphasising both their internal management and their international strategies and relations to political institutions and other stakeholders
  • theories and analyses of economic, political, and legal aspects of globalisation, providing a strong theoretical background to students’ understanding of contemporary changes in world society
  • specific contemporary issues and problems such as the role of public-private partnerships in addressing environmental, social, and human rights problems around the world, the role of business in civil wars and other situations of conflict, and the problems and challenges of creating international business standards, for instance concerning accounting and corporate governance.
The programme is relatively new as it was offered for the first time in 2008.
