Welcome to the DP Global Politics Support Site
We are excited to launch the InThinking Global Politics Support Site for the IB's new guide for first teaching in August/September of 2024. The site has been designed so that teachers and students will have everything they need (and more) to understand and apply the prescribed content and topics for the most recent guide.
To get started, you are encouraged to read the relevant "Introduction to Global Politics" link(s) below.
This is a dynamic site that will be updated weekly with new and modified resources.
In the months ahead, expect to see more sample Papers, student samples, and resources for case studies (particularly the HL Extention).
In short, this is just the start!
