MA International Relations

This program allows students to critically understand and engage with pressing issues in modern-day international relations. They are encouraged to analyze and explore how ideas and the roles of institutions are being reconceptualized in our changing political climates, locally and internationally. Transformations in political systems have resulted in new challenges to international governance, such as global inequality, democratic deficit, environmental degradation, and the changing nature of the conflict. These current transformations require us to critically approach the study of international relations by discussing the applicability of traditional theoretical approaches and institutional processes in a rapidly transforming world.
