International Relations

听

The International Relations (IR) group prides itself with its eclecticism 鈥� thematically, methodologically as well as theoretically. Our research spans several areas, including global governance, international political economy (IPE) and security studies. Members of our group use a variety of cutting-edge quantitative and qualitative methods, from computational text analysis to historical or interpretive approaches. Thanks to the many different theoretical sensitivities in our group, ranging from critical theory to rational choice institutionalism through realism or international political sociology, we are at the forefront of scholarly developments in the discipline.

听

Building on these synergies, composing a thesis committee should be quite straightforward for incoming graduate students. Whether you want to study international trade and finance, international organizations, great power rivalries, refugees, the politics of international law, global history, transnational relations, peacebuilding, international ethics, humanitarian intervention, multilateral diplomacy, major wars or nuclear proliferation, we have many possible duos and trios of Faculty to accompany you during your studies at 成人VR视频. Our course offerings at both the undergraduate and graduate levels cover a similarly broad range of topics.

听

The (CIPSS), a joint endeavor with Universit茅 de Montr茅al, serves as a key institutional platform for our group. As CIPSS fellows, graduate students may participate in a weekly speaker series as well as several other events of international caliber. On top of individual grants and chairs, the IR group also hosts a number of continuing research teams funded by public agencies, which offer further opportunities to students. More details may be found on Faculty profiles.

We encourage interested students to take a look at individual webpages in order to learn more about our ongoing research projects and grants. On top of the eight core Faculty in IR, other colleagues in the department also conduct related research, including Rex Brynen (security and development), Colin Chia (IPE, technology), Daniel Douek (civil conflicts), Juliet Johnson (IPE), Catherine Lu (international political theory) and Carola Weil (global governance).
