Study Politics!

• Politicians redistribute approximately 40% of all the economic output of developed democratic countries. How are these means handled?

• Authoritarian and totalitarian regimes seem to be on the rise. Will we still live in democratic states in the next quarter of a century?

• Global problems are limitless; they concern each one of us, right here and right now. Is it possible to solve them? How?

• Upon the centuries of wars, Europe seems to be united nowadays. However, for how long? Will we experience new borders dividing Europe?

• At least according to the media, the world is a dangerous place to live. Is a new Cold War looming? What serious threat does terrorism represent for us?

Politics shifts the world; therefore, it should be studied and understood.
