The Department of Politics and International Studies at Warwick (PAIS) The Department of Politics and International Studies at Warwick (PAIS) is one of the largest politics departments in the UK, with over 30 full-time members of academic staff, including 7 full professors (as at December 1998). Our members have expertise across the full spectrum of political science, political theory, and international studies. Areas of particular strength are international political economy, international relations, comparative public policy, and political philosophy. Areas of regional expertise include Europe, China, the Asia-Pacific region, North America, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, the ex-Communist world. We have a strong interdisciplinary orientation; Politics and International Studies as understood and practised at Warwick are subjects at the heart of the social sciences. We are also strongly committed to the importance of both theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of social and political issues, and to interactions between them. The Department attracts graduate students from around the world. In 1998 there were around 160 graduate students, of whom around 70 were registered for research degrees. Our PhD course has ESRC Mode A recognition status. The breadth and depth of expertise in the Department is reflected in the wide range of seminar options available in taught graduate courses; research students are welcome to participate in these seminars. The Department is located in a strong Social Studies Faculty with a thriving postgraduate life. The presence of many scholars with international reputations attracts a substantial number of graduate students, who make up about half the student population in the Social Studies Faculty. We also benefit from the lively tradition of interdisciplinary co-operation and cross-fertilisation in the Social Sciences at Warwick, which the University strongly supports. PAIS has especially close links with Sociology, Economics, Philosophy, and Law. The Law School and PAIS co-operated to obtain a joint Jean Monnet Lectureship from the European Commission. Philosophy and PAIS share a jointly appointed Warwick Research Fellow in Public Philosophy. The Department has close working relationships with several universities elsewhere in the world. In particular, PAIS has regular staff exchanges with Chulalongkorn University in Thailand and close research links with McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Three leading academic journals are edited from PAIS: Democratization, The Pacific Review, and Politics.

Approximately 75 percent of the campus is contained within a mall area that is closed to traffic. Milwaukee offers a multitude of cultural, social, and athletic opportunities, including art galleries, college and professional sports teams, symphony and professional ballet companies, and numerous thespian groups and community playhouses. The Milwaukee lakefront is a beautiful area that hosts various musical and ethnic fests almost continuously throughout the summer. The University's proximity to downtown offers access to many world-class businesses, including Harley Davidson, Northwestern Mutual Life, Allen Bradley Corporation, and others. Many of these businesses interview regularly at Marquette, offer internships and paid research opportunities, and serve as sites for professional and continuing-education classes. The University Marquette University is an independent, coeducational institution of higher learning that was founded in 1881 by members of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order established in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola. Marquette is named after Father Jacques Marquette (1637-1675), a French Jesuit missionary and explorer in North America. The University offers graduate or first professional degrees in ten of its eleven colleges. While Marquette University continues to stress the liberal arts, it offers cutting-edge education and research in the sciences and engineering fields. The University remains committed to offering an education marked by intellectual excellence, the Judeo-Catholic tradition, and service to others. Applying Although Marquette does not enforce application deadlines, students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Application forms are available from the Graduate School Office and must be submitted with a $40 nonrefundable application processing fee. The M.B.A. and business-related programs require either GMAT or GRE scores, and most other programs require GRE or MAT scores.
