HISTORY
The Department of International Relations (DHI) was officially established in 1985, with Prof. Juwono Sudarsono, Ph.D., as the first head of the department. Previously, DHI was a study program called “Regional and International Relations Studies” at the Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP), Universitas Indonesia, established in 1968.
The Department of International Relations establishment followed the context of Indonesia’s Foreign Policy expansion towards the end of the Cold War. As Indonesia took an active leadership within international politics, the need to establish a department that catered to Indonesia’s understanding and perspective toward developing International Relations in the centre of the nation occurred. Close interaction with practitioners of foreign policy and diplomacy, as well as international institutions in Jakarta, has become one of the main assets of the Department of International Relations FISIP Universitas Indonesia in developing the science of International Relations that is relevant to the dynamics of global politics as well as thick with Indonesian-ness.
The Department of International Relations also partakes in establishing the Indonesian International Relations Association. In 2014, the department also had an important role in establishing the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework Standards for International Relations Study Programs in Indonesia. In 2019, the Department of International Relations undergraduate program got its first international recognition with the ASEAN University Network.
After 14 years of organising international relations education at the undergraduate level, the Department of International Relations opened organising international relations education at the postgraduate level in 1999. Responding to the dynamics of the latest development in International Relations, the Master of International Relations Program has three areas of specialisation, namely (1) International Security, (2) International Political Economy, and (3) Transnationalism Studies.
In 2018, the Postgraduate Program held the International Postgraduate Student Conference (IPGSC) for the first time. The International Seminar, held every two years, is a critical momentum that shows the commitment of the Postgraduate Program to open up and become more actively involved in the international relations epistemic community both at the regional and global levels. As a form of institutional development, the Postgraduate Program in International Relations is now establishing a Doctoral Program in International Relations. This study program will be the first international relations doctoral study program in Jakarta, as the centre of government and the capital of ASEAN.
