I have realised how powerful the influence of Government and Politics is across the world, and as a subject it has captured my attention. I have learnt that there are very few places that are untouched by political power. Through witnessing events such as September 11th, I have come to believe that politics is far too significant to overlook.
One aspect of politics that intrigues me is international relations, because of its global implications. I am particularly fascinated by the relationships that exist between governments, for example the position that the USA adopts on foreign policy. I am interested in the role of the UN as a global authority, the process of conflict resolution and the alliances that governments form to take international measures. My own political ideology is based on the notion that the world can be made stronger through international co-operation, and that our main concern should not be with domestic interests but international ones.
