GENERAL INFORMATION AND GENERAL CRITERIA FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS MASTER'S PROGRAMME

The discipline of International Relations has focused on the analysis of phenomena such as diplomacy or war in the course of history. However, especially in the twentieth century, with the globalisation of these phenomena, this discipline has aimed to analyse and make sense of political, social, economic and cultural relations in more depth. This has required international relations to have a dynamic character and to be open to continuous innovations.

The primary aim of the department is to equip students with a competent knowledge of the history, functioning, legal framework, interstate relations and Turkey's position in the international system. In addition, the economic foundations of international relations are increasing their influence on world politics and foreign policies of states.

The most prominent feature of the International Relations Master's Programme is that while closely following the developments in the contemporary world, it also includes topics such as the Çanakkale Wars, Turkish-Greek Relations, International Maritime Law and Maritime Problems, which are closely related to the geography of Çanakkale, the Aegean Sea and the Straits region. Apart from these, faculty members who are experts in fields such as Asia and South East Asia, Caucasus, European Union, Cyprus, International Integrations, International Security and International Terrorism have also contributed to the Master's Programme.

With the support of faculty members who have made distinguished national and international publications in their fields of expertise, the programme aims to develop not only the analytical skills of its students and provide them with the ability to conduct research independently and within the academic discipline, but also the ability to present these researches in writing.
