India's rising economic and military might must be complemented with a world class international affairs-social science base that will generate and test theories and peddle a special Indian variant or brand of global studies. Jindal School of International Affairs (JSIA) aims to become the locus of such an ambitious vision by situating India as a vibrant ground for social science ideas and debates and giving India a leadership role on the world stage. JSIA aims to place India on the global map as a provider of knowledge that is internationally relevant and of the highest standards. As India's 'First Global Policy School', JSIA has been 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 commenced its academic session in August 2011 with 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, Jindal School of Government and Public Policy as well as Jindal School of International Affairs, to create a unique interdisciplinary pedagogy. The M.A. (DLB) is delivered on weekdays to residential students and on weekends to working professionals, including diplomats based in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi. JSIA has established international collaborations with the United Nations University in Tokyo, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) of Indiana University, Queen Mary University of London, Carleton University in Canada to name a selected few. JSIA also hosts India's only Taiwan Education Centre, which has been established by National TsingHua University of Taiwan with the backing of the Ministry of Education, Government of Taiwan. The school publishes the Jindal Journal of International Affairs (JJIA), a critically acclaimed annual academic journal featuring writings of Indian and international scholars and practitioners of contemporary world affairs.
