Political Science and International Relations

Political Science and International Relations students at ParagonIU are expected to have exposure to various theories and “Schools of Thought” of the fields, which helps them make sense of the complexities of national and world affairs. Besides fundamental concepts in political science and international relations in the Cambodian and regional contexts, students shall undertake comparative analyses of nation-states, while trying to understand and apply IR and political science theories at ASEAN meetings simulations. Students are also expected to learn about territorial disputes, international political economy, conflict resolution, and foreign policy.

In addition to reading materials provided in the university’s library, this page serves as a reference list of electronic reading materials, including e-books, journal and magazine articles, as well as expert analyses and commentaries -- all of which are accessible and free of charge!
