International organisations, humanitarian agencies, and states, all intervene in the sovereign affairs of nation-states. But when might such intervention be justified, and how can it be made most effective?

Hosted in our Centre for International Intervention, our International Relations (International Intervention) MSc draws upon our staff’s decades of experience in the diplomatic and humanitarian sectors. Crisis management and negotiation simulations enable you to apply the conceptual challenges presented by intervention in practical contexts.

With the option of a Professional Training placement, the International Intervention pathway will enable you to tackle the ethical, legal and political challenges posed by international intervention.
