MSc Politics of Asia

The SOAS MSc Politics of Asia fosters close analysis of politics in Asia — both South Asia and East Asia - with additional options covering Southeast Asia and Central Asia. How do globalisation, nationalism, nuclear rivalry, and urban development affect political life in Asia?

What drives the politics of ethnicity, religion, and gender? How should we understand the specific characteristics of politics (both formal and informal) in India, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, as well as Indonesia, Thailand, Turkmenistan, and many other countries in the region?
