This course aims to illustrate the rich diversity of political affairs, not just in Canada and the United States, but in and across a host of nations around the world. We will discuss and analyze important roles in politics and governance, assess local, national and international governments and institutions, explain differences in process and policy outcomes, make sense of the social movements of our times; and, acknowledge the importance of global political and economic changes in the 21st century. All the while, students will learn important skills in writing, speaking, debating and assessing aspects about politics, governments, nation states, political cultures, ideologies, social movements, the news media and more.
Students electing to take this challenging dual credit course (Camosun University College) must complete both the high school and college credited courses. See Mr. Campbell (Room 212b) or Ms. Turnbull (Career Centre) for more info.
Political Studies 12 Dual Credit will not be offered in the 2022-2023 school year. In it’s place, we are offering History 12 Dual Credit.
