The Department of Political Science deals in the area of study which encompasses the global as well as domestic affairs. It examines some of the critical issues of modern times, including the changing nature of international cooperation and conflict, the new character of warfare, the impact of globalization upon states and societies and the persistence of world problems such as poverty, migration and drug trafficking.
