Why There Is Need?
In India we have only Three Public Universities, namely
o School of International Studies, JNU, New Delhi , ( Central university)
o Department of International Relations, Jadavpur University, Kolkata , (State Uni)
o Department of Politics and International Studies, Pondicherry University, (Central
Uni) Pondicherry .
Western India, do not have a single Public University either State or Central which has
Department of International Studies as separate unit or department. However in
Maharashtra, we have Dept of Defence and Strategic Studies (DDSS) in University of
Pune, Bahinabai Choudhary North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon and Bhonsala
Military College, Nashik. Though, University of Mumbai has affiliated college known as
Naval War College which meant only for service staff from Indian Navy. In nutshell,
there is scope for University of Mumbai to fill in this vacuum and explore possibilities to
set up new Department of International and Strategic Studies.
Mumbai being International City and Financial Capital of India, after Delhi Mumbai City
has maximum Foreign offices either Diplomatic or International Trade related Staffs who
are stationed in their offices like Consular -Generals and Deputy High Commission s in
vicinity. So University Mumbai has direct access to this diplomatic community to impart
their and share their experiences and knowledge of their international relations.
International Relations and Strategic Studies, this subject is one of the vital components
of various professional courses as well as career oriented examinations either by Union
Public Service Commission/ MPSC/ Staff Selection Board. In Maharashtra we don‟t have
institutes or organizations which can provide the professional training or any mechanism
to make them, (especially, aspirant civil servants) to understand the basic concepts and
theories of International Relations/ Studies as well as strategic thoughts from the defense
perspective. In absence of this kind of institutions many young scholars from Mumbai
and nearby cities almost 80 percent of them chose New Delhi as destination or for
research they look for admission in foreign universities.
Therefore it is an urgency and dire need of introducing the new M. A. Course at the Dep artment
of International and Strategic Studies at University of Mumbai from coming Academic year that
is from June 2020.
Who and How They Will Benefit?
International and Strategic Studies, basically deals with the multiple disciplines within
the Faculty of Humanities, like studying the political developments and socio -economic
profile as well as art literature and cultural traits of the other nations that is foreign
countries. This would help them to carry out their own countries relations in cordial
mann er. Having background of vivid disciplines the young scholars are always give the
Page 10
10
impression of being representatives of their own state. In India we have Indian Council
for Cultural Relations provides an avenues and opportunities to prove themselves in
different countries of the world.
In this Masters programme they intend to study in depth the knowledge of the different
social, cultural, political and economic issues of other nations from Indian perspective to
co-relate India‟s polity, socio -economic co nditions and cultural ethos with other nations.
After completion of this Masters Course there is an ample scope to work as research
analysts, journalists, an advisors, consultants to many international organizations and
Foreign Embassies, High Commissions and Multinational Agencies and their different
programmes. Moreover, after developing the expertise in special skills of the Subject
Knowledge being policy advisors these young graduates can work in either the national
or international sector, aiding governments or organizations .
When the contemporary world is going through the ramifications of Political Violence all
around the places whether it is developed world or developing world, rural or urban, the
expertise of intelligence analyses and f act finding s of untoward events or possible terror
attacks can be prevented with the help of by these scholars. An Investigative J ournalist s
with a focus on International and Strategic Studies would be able to categorize and
classify and prioritize the se nsitive news from other countries that could potentially
impact both the country and the world.
The special component of Strategic Studies, primarily the military aspects of the various
strategic thoughts whether its‟ Ancient Indian Strategies or Modern S trategies, it would
educate the scholars to comprehend with numerous tactics of Proxy -Wars or War -like
situation around. This would help them to understand the nature of counter -strikes and to
know that how countries protect themselves and how world politi cs influences policy
measures for the security of a nation.
Mumbai being HQ of Western Naval Command of Indian Navy and Pune being HQ of
Southern Command of Indian Army other Institutions of NDA, CME and AFMC the
association with these institutions may help to inculcate the sense of nationalism and
nationhood.
Future Plans:
Once we launch the course successfully, s tudent‟s strength might increase first year 60 in
2021 -2022 and in subsequent year 2022 -2023 either it may remain same or reduce from
60 to 50 sometimes. But overall student‟s strength would be 100 plus including both
academic years for Masters Degree.
Moreover, Department intends to introduces Research activities like Doctoral research
work and other Diploma and Certificate Courses with specific area and region specific
Page 11
11
studies like Centre for South Asian Studies, Centre for Crisis Management, Centre for
Peace and Conflict Studies, Centre for Migration and Diaspora Studies, and Certificate
course in Diplomacy and Foreign Policy.
The proposed Department would have academic engagements with the other research
institutes or Think -tanks and Forum for FINS, GATEWAY, ORF, School of Military
Intelligence and other Security related agencies in Pune.
At National level, the DISS will have academic association wi th Manohar Parrikar
Institute for Defense Studies and Analysis, IDSA, New Delhi, United Service Institute,
USI, New Delhi. Centre for Land Warfare Studies, (CLAWS) and Centre for Airpower
Studies in New Delhi and other institutions which are dealing with t he International and
Strategic Studies in rest of India.
At International Level, Department will initiate the academic exchanges with the
universities and associations like Department of International Relations at London School
of Economics, British Assoc iation for South Asian Studies, (BASAS), Area Studies
programmes of School of Oriental and African Studies, SOAS, London, Centre for South
Asian Studies, Edinburgh University, Scotland in UK. Moreover, Institute for South
Asian Studies, National University of Singapore and ISAS, Si -Chuan University, at
Chengudu in China. Efforts will also be made to fetch the expertise from various
Embassies and High -Commissions locate in India and from elsewhere.
