Research excellence
We are recognised as one of the world's foremost institutions dedicated to the study of national and global politics. In an era marked by profound and multifaceted transformations, we confront a multitude of emerging questions that challenge long-standing assumptions and established solutions.
The School is home to leading scholars specialisng in established fields such as governance and public policy, international relations, peace and conflict studies, and political science. However, much of our innovation arises from our emphasis on interdisciplinary work that intersects these areas.
Our vibrant research clusters, including 'Institutional Transformations,' 'Visual Politics,' and 'History and Theory of International Relations,' sustain dynamic conversations and propel collaborative endeavors.
Our flagship centres—the Asia-Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect and the Rotary Centre for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution—drive engagement with the worlds of policy and practice.
