About Us
The Institute of International Studies is a research institution focusing on the study of International Relations. We are engaging both in vast theoretical and academic discourse as well as performing advocacy towards a just, peaceful and civilized global society. The Institute develops three core research clusters on globalization and cities development; peace building; and humanitarian action..............................
Program on Globalization and Cities Development is based on the needs to further develop globalization studies in the context of regional local economic development. Hence, the program focuses its study on two main issues; First, on the impact of globalization to the local economies. Secondly, it focuses on the capacity of the local governance, particularly on how the local government can improve their capacity in coping with the challenges of globalization.
The establishment of Program on Humanitarian Action (POHA) was motivated by the needs to build an academic framework for humanitarian action in international arena. Humanitarian action was build based on the principle of humanity, neutrality, impartiality which mentioned in Geneva Convention. Program on Humanitarian Action (POHA) will concentrate on three activities: research, training and advocacy. Researches activities will become a foundation for training curriculum and advocacy activities. Through this design, a comprehensive analysis on humanitarian action can be guaranteed.
Program on Peace Building and Radical Violence (PILAR) is presented by the Institute as an effort to enhance in-depth academic research and comprehensive political mapping against the number of action of violence, radicalism, and terrorism, both in Indonesia and international, in creating a peaceful society. Violence and terror at this moment has become the concern of all actors, from the international community, national government to local society. Therefore Program on Peace Building and Radical Violence (PILAR) is expected to conduct in-depth research and provide comprehensive mapping of the emergence of political violence and terrorism in recent years that seems to be a trend. The efforts of this program do not only to provide immediate solutions related to violence and terrorism, but also deeper understanding of the roots of violence and terrorism itself, and alternative policy recommendations to all stakeholders and relevant organizations. This is related to the means in build a just, peaceful, and civilized global society.
