Ph.D International Relations is a full-time two to ten years duration course offered by South Asian University, New Delhi
A wide range of themes germane to the study of International Relations (IR) come within the purview of the Department of International Relations. Broadly, these encompass both mainstream theories, critical approaches and disciplinary histories of IR; global political economy concerns and international normative political theory. Specifically, teaching and research is carried out by engaging in academic debates relating to security and strategic studies, peace and conflict resolution approaches, the study of regional and international organizations, and identity politics. While we are not an Area Studies Department, we share a special and abiding curiosity with regard to all facets that have a bearing on the overall texture of politics in South Asia. Popular culture in South Asia as it relates to cinema, music, cuisine, dress, and languages also falls within the Department’s ambit of interest.
For the PhD programme, students are required to complete two compulsory courses: Advanced Theory of International Relations and Advanced Research Methods. To help students develop their areas of interest into dissertations, the Department offers a number of optional courses
