History
The Institute of International Relations was established at the University of British Columbia in 1970 to promote multi-disciplinary research projects involving international relations. Included within the scope of the Institute is research on international politics and organizations, diplomatic history, strategic studies, international legal problems, trade and development, and social science theory insofar as it helps to describe or explain international relationships. Administered by a Committee of the Faculty of Arts composed of representatives of participating departments, the Institute supports individual or group research projects at the graduate, post-graduate and faculty levels.
