You know that the world is more than simple cost-benefit analyses that ignore people and nature. You&#8217;ve always wondered why economists are constantly asked about crises in the media, while philosophers and political scientists are never asked for a solution. You are longing for answers to the questions of fair coexistence and fair trade. You strive to find a different approach to an economic system that brings sustainable prosperity for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this study program, you will learn to use politics as a practical tool of reason to manage cultural differences as economies globalize. You will be able to resolve conflicts through debate, not only by expressing your own views but also by correctly arguing where you stand. With this degree program, discover how the contents of political science, philosophy and economics intertwine and how you can apply this interdisciplinary knowledge in concrete projects.
