Postgraduate Research Studies in Government and International Relations
The Department of Government and International Relations has a vigorous research program that spans the discipline of political science.
In research degrees students create knowledge of subjects that of intrinsic interest to them. They do the research to shed light on neglected matters, compare isolated events, apply new ideas to new topics, and the like. Anyone who enjoys reading, writing, and - most importantly - thinking meets the first test for a research degree.
The Department supervises research students engaged with a wide variety of projects from international economics relations, world government, public policy in its many shapes, comparative politics with particular reference to Asia and the Pacific, the successor states of the Soviet Union, news media, leadership, democratic politics voting and elections, and much more.
A research degree means graduates are ready to create as well as evaluate knowledge, data, information, ideas, arguments, and evidence in business enterprises, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and the academy.
The Department offers the following research degrees:
