- The principles of ancient Greek democracy and their application today.
- Political institutions of ancient Rome and their counterparts in modernity.

- Forms of government in antiquity and the Middle Ages: from pluralism to feudalism to absolute monarchy.
- Nationalism, and the birth of the nation state.
- The Industrial Revolution: prerequisites, main characteristics, effects on policy.
- Guns, germs and steel: the "killer apps" of the West.
- Ancient and Medieval geopolitics: from trade to wars to colonialism.
- Clashes of civilisations, religions, and political paradigms throughout history.
- Famous quotes of ancient and Medieval political thought.
