In the master’s specialisation Political Theory you will deep-dive into the theoretical and normative underpinnings of political science. Study the relationship between political power, morality and legitimacy. Explore topics such as radical democracy, political violence and authority, urban justice and recognition. Learn to critically assess these concepts and use them to evaluate and effect real-world politics and policies. If you want to move beyond determining facts and explaining political action, and also want to address what should or should not be done in politics, then you will feel right at home in this specialisation. 
The Master's in Political Theory is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Political Science.
