International relations as a profession
There has never been a more relevant or exciting time to study politics and international relations on an Asian campus. Economic globalisation, social mobility and rapid changes in domestic, regional and global politics increasingly impact on our daily lives. International Relations, as an academic discipline, studies complex dynamics involving states, development challenges, societal groups, identities and cultures in areas such as economics, law, politics and security. It considers some of the most burning questions of the day, and also investigates deeper questions relating to how we understand and conceptualise contemporary global transformations.
