Dean Message,
The Faculty of Political Science and International Relations is the youngest faculty of the prestigious Benadir University. At this time, Somalia and Somalis understand the value of stable and harmonized political system based on democracy and overall justice, grounded by our culture, value and believe. To this end, it is importing to understand and analyze all sorts of knowledge and technology from the West and the East. It was under these circumstances that the Faculty of Political Science and International Relations was founded as an institution where the young students and teachers of the day could acquire the expertise needed for overcoming the many difficulties of our political system and also make their mark in the world.
The Faculty’s main reason is clarification of the dynamism at the base of globalization, in keeping with our fundamental view that economics cannot be understood without an understanding of politics, and that politics cannot be understood without an understanding of economics. Today, many corporate enterprises and international institutions (regional and international) are active on a global scale. Thus, it has become essential to have a global perspective in efforts to clarify political and economic dynamics behind problems in areas such as economic disparity, political justice, and the environment. For this reason, we may consider ourselves to be in an age encouraging to full exercise of the capabilities of the Faculty in its further evolution.
The Faculty’s mission could be said to lie in serious approaches to the building of Somali society that have the highest levels of safety and are enriched in both the material and non-material aspects for each and every one of its citizens and also the global society, amid the significant changes brought by globalization.
Each program is specially designed to develop analytical skills, combining organized knowledge with practical experience that introduces and prepares them for careers in the government and non-governmental sectors (national, regional and international), such as the UN, AU. In addition to learning about the government, politics and issues of public concern, students also might explore themes of war and peace and the effects of globalization, the role of international law and organizations, and predominantly Somalia’s role in the world.
