Welcome to the International Relations department at Özyeğin University. International Relations is a sub field of social sciences which employs various interdisciplinary methods drawn from history, economics, and sociology to study the relations between international actors such as states, international organisations, multinational corporations, and non-governmental organisations. Apart from the theoretical and empirical aspects of these relations, international relations also studies their geographical and regional roles. The interaction that arises from these relations results in particular phenomena, such as international and regional security, migration, changing concepts in international law, war crimes, post conflict reconstruction and state building.
In many applied subjects and various career paths, these basic concepts of international relations are essential to understand the roles and strategies of national and international actors within a rapidly changing world.
At OzU International Relations, we believe that International Relations should be studied in an interactive way with current events and national and international actors involved in making and shaping policies, otherwise, International Relations becomes an inward looking theoretical enterprise which does not contribute to the production and transfer of useful knowledge. In this sense, the sharing and production of useful knowledge allows students to study and learn within the context of current events as they unfold.
The International Relations department at OzU is launching a BA program in the Fall semester of 2013. All of our faculty have obtained their doctoral and post graduate degrees from renowned universities in the United States and the United Kingdom, having several years’ professional experience of teaching and research at these universities abroad as well as top institutions in Turkey. All of the various areas in international relations, mentioned above, are related to the research interests and expertise of faculty in the department.
