Overview

The department of Political Science offers a high quality graduate program in a small, collegial department. There is extensive contact between professors and students, and we support flexibility in designing programs of study (e.g., working with cognate disciplines such as International Development Studies). There is also a congenial social environment, enhanced by the excellent entertainment and environmental amenities of the City of Halifax. The Department is complemented by the Centre for the Study of Security and Development, which is active in various aspects of international relations and development policy; the Jean Monnet European Union Centre of Excellence, which engages in research on a range of topics pertaining to EU-Canada relations; the Jean Monnet Network in Health Law and Policy, which focuses on building connections and capacity in health law and capacity across Europe and North America; the Romeo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative, which advocates for prevention of the recruitment and use of child soldiers; and the MacEachen Institute for Public Policy and Governance, which supports the development of progressive public policy and greater citizen engagement.
