Demonstrating a strong PAIS research focus on emerging areas, Volume 35 (2014) of the high-profile international journal Third World Quarterly, which is well into its fourth decade of publishing scholarship and policy-related articles in international studies, showcases four very distinctive articles by PAIS members including:

Peter Ferdinand, ‘Rising powers at the UN: an analysis of the voting behaviour of BRICS in the General Assembly’, 35, Issue 3, pages 376-91.

Dominic Kelly and Charalampos Efstathopoulos (formerly a doctoral candidate supervised by Dominic and now Lecturer in the Dept. of International Politics, Aberystwyth University), ‘India, developmental multilateralism and the Doha ministerial conference’, 35, Issue 6, pages 1066-81.

Shaun Breslin, ‘Financial transitions in the PRC: banking on the state? 35, Issue 6, pages 996-1013.

Peter Burnell, ‘International support for action on climate change and democracy: exploring complementarities’, in 35, Issue 7, pp.1216-38.

Professor , Professor of Politics & International Studies, has been chosen as the FTGS [Feminist Theory and Gender Studies] Eminent Scholar for ISA 2015.

The Feminist Theory and Gender Studies section of the International Studies Association brings together scholars who apply feminist theory to International Relations or look at the field through a gender lens. In addition, those whose interests focus on gender-related topics throughout the field of international studies, including women in development and cross-cultural comparative studies, are encouraged to participate. The section provides mechanisms for discussion and exchange about the international dimension of scholarship on gender and about the gender dimension of scholarship in international affairs.

Professor Rai will attend at the 2015 Emnent Scholar Panel, where her work will be honoured.

In addition to this, a Korean Translation of Professor Rai's book, "Gender and the Political Economy of Development" (2002, Polity Press) is being released. The book has been translated by Dr Jinock Lee, who is a PAIS alumni and is now at Korea Women’s Political Solidarity.

The deputy editor of the Times Higher Education, John Morgan, recently visited campus. His subsequent article, "Campus close-up: University of 糖心TV," features PAIS and Monash University's forthcoming , which is currently under development, but will launch in 2015 and enable students to study both here at 糖心TV and in Australia.

The Double Degree programmes allow students to follow one of the regular MA programmes in PAIS for one year as well as a Masters programme at another university for one year. Students receive an MA from each university.

The department has performed well in the 2014 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) results, achieving a 91% satisfaction rating overall on the Joint Academic Coding System (JACS), up several points over last year.

The PTES is the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey, which analyses a range of feedback from students on teaching quality (such as contact, feedback), course design, student satisfaction, and career development.

The Joint Academic Coding System (JACS) system is used by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) in the United Kingdom to classify academic subjects.

PAIS have excelled especially in teaching and learning, organisation and management, and resources and services.
