International Relations<\/strong> encompass all cross-border relations between state and non-state actors. This specialization is one of seven areas at the Institute for Political Science. The department deals with key issues in global politics, including international security, global order, foreign policy, international organizations, and transnational networks. Research and teaching combine theoretical approaches with empirical analysis and place a special emphasis on current challenges such as climate change, international conflicts, and shifts in global power relations. Students gain insights into the complex dynamics of international politics and acquire skills that are relevant for careers in academia, diplomacy, international organizations, and NGOs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
