Why Geopolitics? 


The pace at which the international security environment has been deteriorating is rapid. The understanding on the complex issues relating to the emerging geopolitical and geostrategic environment would be essential and important because of the rise of non-state actors. The study on Geopolitics with a great focus on the “Regions” and the regional security would help in the growth of knowledge and in process would help in defining the solutions to the emerging intricate problems.

Why Choose Geopolitics for Postgraduate study
There is a keenness growing elsewhere in the world to know more about India. Each of the members of the international community (around 192 nations) has been eyeing on India. The pace at which India is growing is phenomenal. In the current era, there are lots of requirements for India experts. Those universities in the US which have South Asia programme are now talking about India programme exclusively. The course offered in Geopolitics would make a modest attempt in fulfilling the emerging requirements in both international and national security arena. An attempt would also be made in the courses offered to analyze the security issues with an Indian perspective. In an era of globalization, the course in Geopolitics would be very vital and important for younger generation to make a career in the field.
