Welcome to the Department of Political Science and International Relations. In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, the fields of Political Science and International Relations hold unparalleled significance. Understanding the underlying forces that shape global politics, national policies, and social transformations is essential for any engaged citizen and especially vital for those committed to building an equitable and peaceful society. Here at our department, we take pride in nurturing a learning environment that not only informs but also empowers students and faculty to question assumptions, challenge narratives, and explore diverse perspectives. Our mission is to cultivate an intellectually stimulating space that promotes critical thinking, rigorous analysis, and ethical engagement. We believe that Political Science and International Relations are not merely academic disciplines but vital lens through which we can understand, critique, and transform our world. In an age where information is abundant yet often superficial, we are dedicated to fostering deep, critical, and contextualized understanding among our students and faculty alike. It is this commitment that drives us to produce scholars, practitioners, and citizens equipped with both theoretical insight and practical expertise. ............. (Dr. Adil Khan ....
