Profile
A unique study programme in English that allows you to obtain a Master’s Degree in Political Science, focusing on Russia and Russia-related issues in Eurasia.Russia’s increasing isolation is causing significant political and economic shifts in its vicinity. These dynamics are impacting other regions and global processes.Russia’s war against Ukraine has fundamentally impacted European security and will continue to cast a shadow over it in the foreseeable future as well. Other regional developments analysed in the study programme will continue to remain relevant in both the regional and global context. Those include:-the so-called frozen conflicts in Moldova, Georgia, as well as the partially active conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia;-undemocratic governance and related potential political and economic transformation processes in a number of countries of Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus and Central Asia;-the influence of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan on Central Asian countries, in particular Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan;-the increasing economic and political clout of the People’s Republic of China in Central Asia and other regions via Belt and Road Initiative and its projects.There is therefore a growing demand for specialists in international relations and diplomacy with advanced knowledge of Russia, Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus, and Central Asia. Russia’s increasing isolation from the West, as well as its pivot towards itself coupled with the domestic policy developments all underscore this demand.
