It is an exciting time in history, as this generation will see the emergence of new forms and functions of politics and political institutions. Our traditional view of politics revolves around the democratic nation-state. However, the power of traditional political institutions is now being tested. European integration is limiting the auton­omy of individual countries and independence movements are challenging the authority of nation-states. Fewer citizens are joining political parties and new, supranational institutions that influence politics are developing. In the Political Culture specialisation, you will examine politics from a variety of perspectives. You will deal with various political theories and will ask important questions about representative government. You will also be challenged by questions regarding developments in the European Union, in environmental policies, and in multicultural society.

Location

Most of the university's departments are on the west bank of the River Meuse, or Maas, that runs through central Maastricht, and a 20-minute walk from Maastricht Central Station. There are also faculties at Randwyck campus, a three-minute train journey from central Maastricht.


Maastricht can be reached from Amsterdam, Brussels, Charleroi, Düsseldorf and Cologne airports, and by train and bus. The public transport network across the Netherlands is quick, clean and efficient. Getting around by bus is easy but most students’ cycle.


The university’s arts, humanities and social sciences faculties are located in Maastricht’s city centre, west of the river Meuse. Most of the university’s inner city properties have official monumental status. As many of these buildings were facing abandonment at the time of their acquirement, the development of an urban university campus has contributed to the preservation and liveliness of Maastricht’s historic city centre.
