Higher Education for a Complex Globalised World
India's First Global Policy School, the Jindal School of International Affairs, has launched a B.A. Hons.
in Global Affairs which is tailor-made for High School-leaving students who are interested
in international policies along with global processes that affect all societies, and who
aim at global careers. The degree aims to teach students about global politics, economics, culture,
and institutions.
As forces of globalisation today have fundamentally changed the world by redefining relationships
between states, societies, communities and individuals, it has led to the creation of new possibilities for
human progress and social justice posing new challenges that cannot be resolved by nations
individually or by markets mechanically. Consequently, the solutions to the problems faced beyond
national borders involve multi-causal, multi-cultural, and multi-national responses.
With the world today more integrated than ever before, premier sites of education and learning have
the responsibility to bring this same global understanding and thinking to their educational
programmes. The traditional social science disciplines of economics, political science, sociology and
history can no longer be compartmentalized by geographical region and scope, and it is the
interconnectedness between processes across societies that have increasingly begun to define the
theory and practice of these disciplines.
Moreover, High School-leaving youth today have access to international events and issues, over and
beyond what they learn in Social Studies textbooks, because of the Internet. Even though coverage of
world events and opinions about current international affairs remains scanty in India's news media,
the Internet allows young people to learn about what is happening in faraway parts of the world and
how it might resonate and relate to public issues in India. The popularity of Model United Nations
(MUNs) events in Indian High Schools over the last decade is a testament to the increasing hunger for
studying foreign problems and coming up with solutions to them.
But once students finish High School, they are left unmoored due to the lack of any Bachelor's degrees
focussed on international themes. The innate curiosity of young High School-leaving Indians
for understanding other regions of the world and their experiences has to be satiated
with a world class Bachelors education in our own country. Otherwise, it will amount to a huge loss of
talent that could have been trained to serve the world.
Appreciation of the changed world we live in today, and the changing demands it places on students
both intellectually and professionally, has formed the impetus for the creation of a B.A. Hons. in Global
Affairs at the Jindal School of International Affairs of O.P. Jindal Global University. This degree takes
an interdisciplinary approach, examining politics and international relations from a wide variety of
perspectives, including area studies, cultural politics, international politics, human rights, political
theory, history, economics and political sociology.
Why Global Studies at the Undergraduate Level?
Global Studies is concerned with political, economic, ecological and cultural relations and processes
connecting peoples, societies and nations across the world. Global Studies is centered around the
concept of interconnectedness, of recognising local and global connections, and globally shared issues
such as preservation of culture and environment, the movement of peoples and the effects of multiple
globalisations.
Global Studies is a necessary product of increasing globalisation, a result of a constantly changing
global community. The reality of globalisation and the interconnectedness of nations and economies
demand that students must be well educated in foreign issues.
1
A Global Studies education should promote an understanding of foreign affairs, effective citizenship in
participatory democracy, cross-cultural understanding, global competitiveness in a world market, and
a sense of global community. It must equip students with the ability to think globally and locally,
promote cultural awareness and an understanding of current affairs, hone skills in research and
analysis, and promote the ability to communicate across contexts and cultures.
Top universities around the globe now offer programs in Global Studies at the undergraduate level.
This in response to the fact that globalisation has created a global community, wherein for students to
be responsible, effective, and successful global citizens, their undergraduate education itself must train
them to understand the world through the lens of interconnectedness between issue areas and among
societies. Such an approach not only trains students to think across disciplines and nation-states but
also enables them to be competitive in the global market.
Currently, Humanities and Social Science Bachelor's degrees in India do not offer a concentration or
specialisation in international affairs, leave alone a more sophisticated concept like Global Studies.
Many young Indians coming out of high school who want to build in-depth knowledge of
foreign affairs have no option anywhere in India. Some of them who can afford foreign
education go overseas, while the rest of them settle down into Economics, Political Science, Sociology,
or History Honours programmes in Indian institutions.
The curriculum of a B.A. Honours degree in Political Science in Delhi University or
Mumbai University has only one or two courses in the entire three years that are devoted
to international issues. The reason for the void in offering a major/concentration in international
affairs at the undergraduate level is the belief that 'International Relations' (IR) and global affairs are
not independent full-fledged disciplines in themselves but a sub-field of Political Science.
Conventional logic holds that, after completing High School education, one must first acquire a basic
grasp over a major discipline like Economics, History, Sociology or Political Science (as in a B.A. Hons.
In Political Science) and then move to IR at the Masters level.
th
But this schema is from the 20 century academia and it gives a raw deal to a large number of students
coming out of High School who are keen to obtain a Bachelor's degree in the social sciences but who also
want to combine this with international perspectives and expertise.
Epistemologically, an undergraduate degree based on a tight distinction between social science
disciplines (e.g. Economics, Political Science and Sociology) is an inaccurate reflection of the
interconnectedness of issue areas and peoples in an era of globalisation. Education in the 21st century
must be based on this empirical fact and renew its philosophy and goals in line with a changing global
reality.
Although the rapidity of change in the international system has been immense over the last three
decades, the speed with which Indian academia has innovated to keep pace with the 'real world'
developments has been snailish. What has been missing is an undergraduate programme that can
prepare High School-leavers to shape the world.
The qualities and skills employers are looking for in graduates are exactly those that a BA (Hons.) in
Global Affairs will impart. These include:
Ÿ strong interpersonal skills
Ÿ strong verbal and written communication skills
Ÿ flexibility, adaptability and a “can–do” attitude
Ÿ sound academic achievement
Ÿ self-motivation and time management
2
Ÿ analytical, conceptual and problem solving skills
Ÿ the ability to work with others, especially in groups
Ÿ energy and enthusiasm
Ÿ strong research skills
Ÿ critical thinking
As the first ever institution in India offering a BA in Global Affairs, JSIA is in a position to attract these
applicants and give them an early start on the way to becoming versatile international
affairs professionals.
The job prospects after graduating from a degree of Global Studies are exceptionally varied. Career
paths may include entering into international relations, trade, foreign affairs, diplomacy, politics, local
government, environmental research and planning and international development.
Featuring both active and collaborative classroom experiences in addition to intensive study abroad
and internship experiences, the three-year BA Hons. in Global Affairs is designed for students who
wish to develop a set of analytical and interpersonal skills that will prepare them for a wide range of
eventual employment. Here are just a few specific possibilities:
Ÿ Communications and public relations
Ÿ Libraries and cultural centres
Ÿ Community work and the social services
Ÿ Further Higher Education to a Masters' and/or Doctoral level
Ÿ Government, local government and the diplomatic service
Ÿ Policy institutes and think tanks
Ÿ Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
Ÿ Journalism, reporting, media relations
Ÿ Research and policy analysis
Ÿ Writing, editing and publishing
The B.A. Hons. in Global Affairs aims to develop critical and interdisciplinary understanding of global
political issues. Whether the focus is at individual, local, national, regional or global level, related
questions of power, justice, human rights, order, conflict, legitimacy and accountability will be
considered in perspectives both theoretical and applied.
Often, we see that undergraduates doing single discipline social science degrees in India feel inferior to
those pursuing Commerce, Business Administration, Science & Technology, and Engineering. This is
tied to the paucity of careers for those who get a mainstream B.A. degree, as opposed to a 'professional'
degree like B.Tech, B.Sc., B.Com etc. The phenomenon of B.A. students feeling like second class
citizens with uncertain futures is rampant in India. This has to be reversed by offering high quality
multi-disciplinary B.A. degrees with a wide range of career choices.
Significance of the B.A. Hons. Global Affairs Degree
The BA Global Affairs programme is the first of its kind in India and a pathbreaker. It is the first
instance of a specialisation being offered in international issues at the undergraduate level. The
programme is also significant because it is interdisciplinary in nature, with course offerings
drawn from a number of fields. For this reason, students—especially from the Commerce
Stream -- who have not necessarily studied Humanities in 11th and 12th grade of High School may also
be interested, since the programme also has some 'economics courses' and may possibly prepare these
students for careers in settings which require a nuanced understanding of not just economics, but also
politics, history and sociology.
3
Statistically, it is also a fact that nearly 50% of High School students in India who opt for the Science
th
th
Stream in 11 and 12 grades do not continue in Science at the Bachelor's level. Having been trained in
scientific methods of cause and effect, these students can also do very well in an undergraduate
programme devoted to foreign affairs provided they have a knack for foreign news, events and issues.
If one were to look beyond the above reasons, the course has a number of other advantages:
Firstly, with India getting increasingly globalised, and its increasing engagement with the outside
world, it is important to have an understanding of the outside world as well. The International Focus
and regional emphasis in three years can prepare students not just for careers in NGOs and think
tanks but even in the private sector, intergovernmental organisations, as well as in the
news media.
With an in depth understanding of regions like Latin America, Middle East, Africa and South Asia at the
undergraduate level, would prepare students for many of the abovementioned career sectors. For those
interested in pursuing advanced studies or research abroad, training in qualitative & quantitative
methods is also important and this programme lays special emphasis on honing the quantitative skills
of students.
Second, the key feature for this programme will be its interdisciplinary focus for secondary school
passed students. Apart from courses pertaining to international affairs itself, there are those focused on
International Financial Institutions as well as the Media studies. Foreign affairs is an essential
component of media coverage, and those interested in careers in journalism and the media
will definitely benefit from the overall structure and thrust of the course since other undergraduate
courses do not provide the necessary rigor and most journalists who have to cover foreign affairs pick
up on the job.
Third, the university setting in Sonipat would be an ideal soil for gaining knowledge on global affairs.
Apart from the world class university facilities, diverse student community and
internationally recognised faculty base, reasonably easy access to the national capital is
very important. Delhi is home to the offices of multilateral organisations, embassies and most research
institutes whose thrust is International Relations. Students will be expected to do an internship in the
Summer Break for both Year 2 and Year 3, and with the institutes and organisations present in Delhi, it
will be extremely useful for students to get the perfect exposure and a pragmatic understanding of the
global affairs.
Curriculum of the B.A. Hons. (Global Affairs) Degree
The crux of the degree is on teaching students how to read, think, and write on global problems
and issues, and this set of skills and understandings will be fundamental to any professional path they
pursue, be it JSIA's own Masters in Diplomacy, Law and Business (M.A. DLB), other Masters degrees
outside JGU or in-between work experience before they go back to graduate school.
During the first three semesters, students will complete foundational courses in the disciplines of
Philosophy, International History, International Economics, and Political Science. Students will also
complete classes on academic reading and writing, critical analysis, and the theory of knowledge. For
the remaining three semesters, students will take more advanced courses in the areas of foreign
policy analysis, international security, international development, international organisations, and
culture and media studies.
Students will be expected to complete a total of 90 credits over the three years where each course is
equivalent to 3 credits, and students will need to complete 5 courses per term, or an equivalent of 15
credits per semester.

While emphasising on theory and praxis of politics, history and foreign language studies, the B.A. in
Global Affairs also seeks to promote an intercultural understanding and sensitivity to diversity that is
critical to navigating the twenty-first century global environment. Students will have the unique
opportunity to learn directly from study abroad opportunities and internships that add “real
world” experience to classroom preparation.
Because of its flexibility, a B.A. in Global Studies could be effectively complemented with mandatory
language courses in Arabic, French, Spanish or Mandarin. Students would also be allowed tailor
their studies (in the final semester) to focus specifically on one of the regional area studies (from
South Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean) and more generally gain knowledge on
the historical, cultural and political linkages that shape the modern world.
JSIA intends the above-listed curriculum of the B.A. Hons. Global Affairs to be a vector for change and
a template that will inspire other Indian undergraduate degree-offering institutions to
create Bachelor's level programmes with a specialisation/major in foreign issues. One
may nitpick about the inclusion or exclusion of specific courses in a Global Studies curriculum, but the
basic idea that it can be done at the undergraduate level is being seeded by JSIA's new course offering.
Impact of the B.A. Hons. (Global affairs) Degree
Upon the completion of the three year BA Hons in Global Affairs, JSIA expects that students would
achieve the following learning outcomes:
Ÿ Acquire a holistic understanding of international political theory and greater understanding of
international affairs;
Ÿ Develop a specialised field of knowledge by choosing one of the several available specialized fields of
knowledge tracks, and develop an in-depth understanding of a region by opting for various study
abroad available with top ranking educational institutions across the globe.
Ÿ Apply systematic methodological research and analysis, and historically contextualize
contemporary global events;
Ÿ Demonstrate the ability to think, work, study and conduct research independently;
Ÿ Develop a wide range of intellectual, practical and language skills which will enable programme
graduates to consider a wide range of post-graduation employment options.
Graduates of the BA in Global Affairs from the Jindal School of International Affairs will have a wide
range of career options available to them upon graduation. At JSIA, students are constantly exposed to
different career options through numerous talks, workshops and seminars by guest speakers, including
high-level diplomats and seasoned practitioners who are best positioned to offer students advice on
further career advancement. Student exposure to academic and professional networks abroad is
unparalleled across India.
Moreover, the programme will also prepare students who are interested in further studies and
continuing on a more academic track. Students from the BA Hons. Global Affairs cohort will have the
option to pursue JSIA's two-year full-time Masters programme in Diplomacy, Law and Business
(M.A.DLB). JSIA's Masters in Diplomacy, Law and Business graduates have previously managed to
secure positions in top national and international think tanks, NGOs, International
Organisations, diplomatic missions, non-profit arms of for-profit companies, and
media houses.
The Jindal School of International Affairs takes pride in providing students with the necessary career
support for students to enter into socially meaningful and public service-oriented positions both in
India and abroad.

Catching Them Young and Grooming them for the World
An undergraduate Honours degree programme with an exclusive focus on foreign affairs is long due in
India. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bachelors education is the most formative phase of the life of
a human being. The basics or fundamentals that set up a student for the rest of her life are learnt at the
Bachelors level. Great care and deep thought are required in designing and delivering Bachelor's
degree programmes. JSIA is driven by the notion that the younger a person is in the academic
ladder, the easier it is to mould her mind to think about big global problems and the
solutions thereof.
High School-leavers entering college need be supported by an integrated programme of study skills.
During the second or third year, many students can take the opportunity to study abroad in JSIA's
partner universities in the UK, mainland Europe, Latin America, Africa, North America or Australia.
The final-year research project would explore a topic of interest in depth. Students will be supported by
a supervisor, receive training in research skills and participate in discussion forums to develop ideas
with course colleagues.
The B.A. Hons. (Global Affairs) is a historic offering that will imbue young High School-leaving youth of
India and other countries with the much-sought-after but elusive global mindset backed by
thorough knowledge and insight into societies and states around the world and their
complex interactions. A complex and interdependent world requires academic programmes that
are interdisciplinary and cutting-edge in nature so that our young people have the training to make
their mark on the world stage and compete with their peers on an international level.
The aim of Global Studies for undergraduates should be to equip students with the knowledge and
skills that will help them participate more effectively as politically conscious citizens and make better
sense of developments in our fast-globalising world. In the absence of Bachelor's degree programmes
catering to the wider world, young India will be force-fed domestic and myopic visions that cripple its
potential.
The progressive narrowing of intellectual lenses in Indian universities to confine themselves to the
study of largely domestic or at best South Asian concerns, and the eschewing of the heritage of
globalism and internationalism bequeathed from Rabindranath Tagore, Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas
Chandra Bose is a betrayal that has cost India as a nation as it fumbles to find the scholastic firepower to
articulate its claim to major power status.
Nothing short of a radical re-education and retooling of India's social science stables and
academic infrastructure on global studies can rectify the gaping holes which stunt the nation's
aspirations to be great and good in the world at large. It will require a qualitative leap in the Indian
university imagination to benchmark itself against peers internationally and develop a far more
rigorous and intellectually engaging pedagogy and epistemology on foreign issues.
As with any competitive sport, global affairs education can only compete and harvest the finest minds
of a country if it catches them young. Indian high schools do cover foreign issues somewhat in social
studies curricula, and the exposure of India's teenagers to the wider world due to the Internet and
telecommunications breakthroughs also attune them to thinking about their place within not just the
national rubric but a far wider global canvas. All they need is a well-designed Bachelors' level degree
programme that taps into their energies and channelises them.
If one visits any American university, the sight of hundreds of undergraduates doing their 'majors'
(concentration) in world politics does not raise eyebrows and is taken for granted. The enrollment in
'IR 101' type of courses in US undergraduate colleges is phenomenal because American universities
give such options and nurture the interest of youth in foreign affairs.
7
We in India need to learn from the American experience and do the same. Students pursuing social
sciences in India at the undergraduate and graduate level have a palpable sense of uninspired ennui
and self-doubt. The confidence that one sees in Bachelors, Masters or PhD students of Global Studies in
top universities abroad, driven by outstanding training and belief in meaningful careers after
completion of studies, is absolutely missing. Social science students in India need to overcome their
inferiority complexes and hold their chins up, but the everyday grinding realities of their dysfunctional
departments and their pettiness is not inspiring.
Global Studies is anyway at the bottom of the pecking order in Indian societal and media priorities,
which are overwhelmingly domestic. The spark to take up degree education in foreign affairs is thus
artificially suppressed by the parochialism and localism. Adding to the woes is rank leadership failure
in departments of Political Science/IR to ignite the fire of learning and creativity among young
scholars.
Established Indian universities are buffeted by needless controversies every time even incremental
changes are made to curriculums, degree programmes or their structuring, leaving little confidence
among reformers to propose drastic changes. But the key to nourishing a future generation of global
studies specialists and social scientists is in introducing it at the Bachelors level. The time for change is
now and it is JSIA's humble hope that the agent of change will be the B.A. Hons. in Global Affairs.
About O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) and
Jindal School of International Affairs (JSIA)
O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) is a non-profit global university established by the Haryana Private
Universities (Second Amendment) Act, 2009. JGU was established as a philanthropic initiative of Mr. Naveen
Jindal, the Founding Chancellor in the memory of his father Mr. O.P. Jindal. The University Grants Commission
has accorded its recognition to O.P. Jindal Global University. The vision of JGU is to promote global courses,
global programmes, global curriculum, global research, global collaborations, and global interactions through
global faculty. JGU is situated on a 80-acre state-of-the-art residential campus in the National Capital Region of
Delhi. JGU is one of the few universities in Asia that maintain a 1:15 faculty-student ratio and appoint faculty
members from different parts of the world with outstanding academic qualifications and experience. JGU has so
far established five schools: Jindal Global Law School, Jindal Global Business School, Jindal School of
International Affairs, Jindal School of Government and Public Policy and Jindal School of Liberal Arts &
Humanities.
Jindal School of International Affairs (JSIA) India's first Global Policy school is enhancing Indian and
international capacities to analyse and solve world problems. It intends to strengthen India's intellectual base in
international relations and affiliated social science disciplines that have hitherto been largely neglected by Indian
academic institutions. JSIA offers a Master of Arts in Diplomacy, Law and Business [M.A. (DLB)]. The
programme is the first of its kind in Asia, drawing upon the resources of global faculty in Jindal Global Law
School, Jindal Global Business School, as well as the Jindal School of International Affairs to create a unique
interdisciplinary pedagogy. The M.A. (DLB) is delivered on week days to residential students and on weekends for
working professionals, including diplomats, based in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi. JSIA has also
launched a three-year B.A (Hons.) in Global Affairs. JSIA has established international collaborations with the
United Nations University in Tokyo and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) of Indiana
University. JSIA hosts India's first Taiwan Education Centre, which has been established by National Tsing Hua
University of Taiwan with the backing of the Ministry of Education, Government of Taiwan. JSIA publishes the
Jindal Journal of International Affairs (JJIA), a critically acclaimed bi-annual academic journal featuring
writings of Indian and international scholars and practitioners on contemporary world affairs.
