Our faculty strive for excellence in teaching and research. They are among the best in the world, featuring a unique blend of preeminent scholars alongside up and coming bright minds. Each year, our faculty members are invited to deliver public lectures in the world’s foremost universities — from Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Princeton to Oxford and Cambridge. Members of our department produce on average ten books a year, with the world’s best presses. Their articles appear in such top journals as Political Theory, Comparative Politics, Annual Review of Political Science, International Security, Canadian Journal of Political Science, World Politics and International Organization. The last, IO, was hosted by the Department in collaboration with the Munk School of Global Affairs, and was edited until 2012 by two of our faculty members — Emanuel Adler and Louis Pauly. Our faculty is closely engaged with on the ground, research and development projects in Canada and abroad, from the Arctic to the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the post-Communist world.
