About

The departure of the UK from the EU and political debates surrounding the election of important leaders including Trump in the US, are important reminders of the role ideas and political leaders have in shaping the global order. London School of Economics and Political Science offers the Great Thinkers and Pivotal Leaders - Shaping the Global Order programme.

Overview

Key facts

Social media, globalisation, and populism are all having a significant impact on the stability of the international world system and the leaders behind these movements play a critical role in defining their impact on international politics.

London School of Economics and Political Science's Great Thinkers and Pivotal Leaders - Shaping the Global Order course places these changes in a broader historical context, examining the evolution of the global order across the last several centuries. Focusing on some of the world's most influential thinkers and leaders from Smith to Keynes; from Elizabeth I to Gandhi, you will examine how historically important ideas ascended, the leaders that defined these orders, and the interaction between the two.
