“We coined the term ‘Developing Global Perspectives’, and that idea is very much in line with how the University sees itself as ‘Asia’s Global University’. That vision translates all the way down to departments such as Politics and Public Administration.

For us, this means studying politics, governance and public administration in ways that draw on ideas and experiences from around the world – Asian experiences, Western experiences and beyond. That, in turn, shapes the kinds of people we want to work with as academics and the fields of expertise we seek to develop.”
