Welcome to the Office of International Affairs
About Us
The Office of International Affairs at POLIS University is dedicated to the study and critical examination of global politics, diplomacy, and transnational processes. Situated at the intersection of theory and practice, we provide a platform for rigorous scholarship, interdisciplinary collaboration, and informed engagement with the challenges confronting the international community.
Our work reflects a commitment to intellectual inquiry, comparative analysis, and the advancement of dialogue across cultures, regions, and disciplines. We aim to cultivate a deeper understanding of the structures, norms, and dynamics that shape the contemporary world order.
Areas of Inquiry
Peace, Conflict, and Security: Research into the causes of conflict, strategies for peace-building, and the evolution of international security institutions.
Global Governance and Institutions: Critical perspectives on multilateralism, sovereignty, and the role of international law.
Political Economy: Analysis of globalisation, trade, finance, and the shifting balance of economic power.
Environmental and Resource Politics: The politics of climate change, energy transitions, and sustainable development.
- Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs: Normative debates on justice, human rights regimes, and the politics of migration.
Academic Mission
Our mission is threefold:
Research – To advance scholarship that contributes to a more nuanced understanding of international affairs, through publications, conferences, and collaborative projects.
Teaching – To provide students with a comprehensive foundation in international relations, combining theoretical traditions with empirical case studies.
Engagement – To serve as a resource for the broader academic community, policymakers, and civil society by disseminating knowledge and fostering informed debate.
Intellectual Approach
We embrace an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing upon political science, history, law, economics, and cultural studies. This approach enables us to interrogate international phenomena not as isolated events, but as complex processes embedded in historical, social, and normative contexts.
A Community of Scholars
The Office of International Affairs is a community of faculty, researchers, and students committed to academic excellence and critical reflection. We welcome engagement from visiting scholars, practitioners, and institutions that share our interest in advancing understanding of the global order and its transformations.
