Politika – Undergraduate Journal of International Affairs, Politics, and Policy

This volume brings together a range of scholarship that reflects the complexity of political life today. Each article, in its own way, engages with the dynamics that structure our society: the relationship between power and governance, the role of institutions and ideas in shaping policy, and the ongoing negotiation between stability, change, and democratic practice. Although the contributions span diverse topics, they are united by a shared analytical concern. The articles return, explicitly or implicitly, to questions of how authority is constructed, challenged, and maintained within Canada and throughout the world. They highlight the ways in which international and domestic affairs are increasingly interconnected, and how global forces shape and are shaped by local realities.
