The discipline of Political Science and International Relations encompasses the systematic study of political ideas, institutions, governance structures, and global interactions among states and non-state actors. It aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of power, authority, public policy, and international dynamics in an increasingly interconnected world.
The subject integrates core areas such as political theory, Indian government and politics, public administration, and international relations, with a specialised focus on diplomacy, foreign policy, global governance, security studies, and international organisations. It enables students to critically analyse contemporary global issues, including geopolitics, conflict and cooperation, human rights, environmental politics, and international economic relations.
Through a participatory and analytical approach, the discipline encourages debate, critical inquiry, and research-oriented learning. It equips students with the intellectual tools required to interpret both domestic political developments and global transformations, fostering informed perspectives on national and international affairs.
The study of Political Science and International Relations thus prepares students for academic advancement, policy analysis, civil services, international institutions, and diverse careers in governance and global engagement
