• PO-127 Disinformation, Ideology and Bias: Researching and examining political data

  ¿The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.¿ - Garry Kasparov This module addresses one of the central challenges of contemporary politics: understanding the nature and role of political information. Our focus is the development of high-level information literacy. Throughout the module, students are shown how to analyse a variety of real-world examples of political information including campaign videos, social media posts, speeches, and news coverage by applying key concepts from the study of political communication. The themes of the module are informational manipulation (disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda); the political analysis of media content (bias and ideology); and psychological modes of media influence (priming, framing, and agenda-setting). As such, the module aims to empower students with an applied understanding of how to navigate the political information environments within which they are embedded. The module also engages students with the social science methods that have been developed to analyse research questions about the nature and impact of today's media environment in the realm of politics. This allows students to develop the conceptual vocabulary and thinking skills necessary to critique the assumptions, methods, and evidential standards that underlie academic analyses of these topics.

• PO-234 Elections and Voting

  This module introduces students to one of the central concerns of politics scholars: the systematic study of elections. The module begins with an examination of competing theoretical conceptions of the role that elections play in a democratic political system. With this theoretical framework established, the module guides students through a rich literature that seeks to explain how elections play out in established democracies. Students are introduced to several approaches to explaining voter behaviour, including: party identification; socio-cultural explanations; rational choice theory; retrospective economic voting; issue voting/issue ownership; leadership effects; and strategic voting. Students will be encouraged to evaluate both the conceptual coherence of these theories and the evidence on which they are based. This exploration of voter behaviour is complimented by analyses of contemporary election campaigns in the United Kingdom, the United States and other established democracies, where recent developments in the media environment have transformed voter-party communications.

• PO-M32 Applied Research Design

  This module introduces MA students to philosophical and methodological issues relating to the possibilities, purpose and conduct of the social sciences. These issues are of great importance for the development of thinking about how to study political theory, political science or international relations. The intellectual reflection demanded by this module will feed into students¿ approaches to their work in the sub-disciplinary modules and dissertation.

• PO-M89 Devolution in Comparative Perspective

  This module will examine various ways of conceptualising and explaining the importance of devolved forms of governance in Western democracies. The module will involve critical assessment of concepts and theories of territorial systems analysis; theories of territorial change lieing in claims based on minority nationalist demands for territorial autonomy; and theories of territorial change arising from developments in multi-level governance, a `Europe of the Regions¿, and non-nationalist `functional¿ arguments in favour of political decentralisation (e.g., devolution as a means of dispersing political power, increasing economic and administrative efficiency and bringing government `closer to the people/citizen¿). An empirical focus will be placed on the UK (with individual attention to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) Spain and Canada The module will conclude on discussions of the significance of devolution for state change in the early 21st century, considering both the dynamics of state reconfiguration and fragmentation.
