The Program

International Relations, a discipline existing at the interstice of political science, economics and sociology, is a field that investigates states, their relations with each other, and the impacts of influential political and economic actors on states and their relations. The Graduate Program in International Relations and Globalization at Kadir Has University prepares students to work in public institutions, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. Some of our graduates choose to continue on to doctorate studies. Students enrolled in the program have an opportunity to work with academicians specializing on such various topics as Theories of International Relations, Globalization, International Political Economy, the European Union, Energy Policies, Migration Studies and Identity Politics. Our aim is to train students so that they will possess the skills necessary to carefully and critically interpret the literature in the discipline of International Relations, actively participate in discussions, and formulate strong arguments and clearly express these, utilizing informative language in accordance with academic and professional ethical rules.
