International Relations

The pace and complexity of international relations in the twenty first century defies simple explanations. Unprecedented economic integration creates winners and losers. A broader array of threats to peace and security pose challenges to policymakers. International norms reach deeper, securing human rights and environmental protection.
UVA’s International Relations scholars tackle these complexities with creativity and analytical rigor. Our substantive expertise covers the full range of international affairs, including military conflict and nuclear proliferation; international trade and finance; international institutions and order; and foreign policy. Our varied analytical tools include statistical analyses, a variety of qualitative methods, and game theoretic models. Combined, these tools reveal and make sense of the multi-faceted puzzles we face. Interdisciplinary collaboration with scholars across Grounds continually invigorates our research.
