It is from this perspective of informed decision making that this course isdesigned. The course takes a global perspective on disaster and risk reduction.

ObjectivesThe growing frequency and magnitude of extreme environmental events (such as floods,landslide and drought) have intensified interest in these events, in particular regarding thelevel of risk they pose in different locations, the vulnerability of communities and theirresponse capabilities. At the successful completion of the course, the participants would beable to:

E.I.5 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Course Incharge: Dr. Manan Dwivedi

Concept Note for the CourseInternational Relations or International Politics is a narrative which is largely recognized asthe last chapter in a stereotypical Political Science Book. It is not so and since the inceptionof the IR chair in the University of Absywrth in United States, International Relations hasdeveloped as an independent and a full fledged discipline emerging out of the shadows ofother traditional disciplines. It not only suggests a reading of interactions and the iterativegames between the various states but also a deft understanding of the relationships whichhave been newly forged between the myriad transnational actors in the age of globalizationand convergence. Also, intertwined with the lore of International Politics is the notion ofinternational organizations which emerges as a sub set of IR keeping in view the needs ofInternational Administration.

As the nation’s administration and the domestic procedures of governance are impactedupon by the kind of international and bilateral relations which a nation sustains with theprominent great powers and its South Asia neighbors, the bilateral interaction with nationsand International administrative mechanisms casts a shadow upon the administration andthe Governance of the nation, too. Thus an understanding of the relations which Indiaenjoys with US and Iran, for instance, can, in a better way, enable the Petroleum andNatural resources ministry to understand the policy which India can make and implement inthe form of inviting imports from Iran or not. The foreign aid disbursed through INGO’s andthe United Nations also has a telling interaction with aids distribution and generalgovernance in the nation. Also, the high tide of IPE also has a telling influence upon thenotion of economic policy of the nation. Thus, International Politics and Governance cannotbe viewed in separation with each other and the interface is well recognized in severalWestern Universities such as the Fletcher School of Governance and the Kennedy’s Schoolof Governance in United States.

Objectives: The course attempts to evolve a policy understanding of the theoretical and

pragmatic percepts of International Politics as an adjunct between the ideationalpercepts of World Politics and its implementary part in the real world.

The course seeks to acclimatize the participants with the fundamental and advancedpercepts of International Politics and Foreign Relations.

The course seeks to sensitize the participants with the significance of bilateralrelations of India with other significant players in the South Asian region and thelarger international system.

The course strives for a holistic comprehension of the impact which decision makingat the foreign policy level has on the Governance in the domestic realm of the


38

country as the internal conditionalities of a nation are inseparably intertwined withits external man infestations in the realm of Public Policy.
