What Department of International Relations Universitas Airlangga does

The Department of International Relations is an academic unit within the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), a public state university in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. It was established as part of FISIP (with the firmographics indicating 1982 as the year founded) and offers two academic programs: a four-year undergraduate degree (S1) and a master's degree (S2) in International Relations, covering diplomacy, global politics, international economics, foreign policy analysis, and global governance. The department houses two research laboratories — the Centre for Strategic and Global Studies (CSGS), which produces the open-access CSGS Brief publication series, and CAKRA (Cakra Studi Global Strategis), a strategic global studies laboratory with a negotiation room. Academic events such as the Airlangga Diplomacy Forum (ADF) bring alumni and external experts into the teaching portfolio.

The department operates through traditional academic methodologies and does not run a proprietary technology platform. Its digital footprint consists of a bilingual website (Indonesian and English), Microsoft Forms-based quality assurance surveys, and UNAIR's centralized admissions system (PPMB). Core technology infrastructure (e-learning, library, cyber campus) is provided by the parent university. No AI/ML, APIs, or proprietary software products were disclosed.

The revenue model is non-commercial. The department is funded through Indonesia's government-subsidized higher education framework, drawing on tuition fees regulated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology and on public university budget allocations for the tri dharma of education, research, and community service. Customers are individual undergraduate and graduate students recruited through UNAIR's centralized admission process; there are no enterprise or commercial customers. The department is currently preparing for LAMSPAK accreditation of its S1 program and actively partners with the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including hosting the D-8 Youth Dialogue 2026 Preliminary Discussion under Indonesia's D-8 Chairmanship.

Direct peers

• Universitas Gadjah Mada Department of International Relations: Top-ranked Indonesian public university IR department based in Yogyakarta. Comparable as a peer public-university IR program of similar standing and scale, offering S1 and S2 degrees with active research centers.
• Universitas Indonesia Department of International Relations: International Relations department at Indonesia's flagship public university in Depok/Jakarta. Highly comparable as both are leading public-university IR departments producing graduates for the same Ministry of Foreign Affairs pipeline and competing for similar undergraduate cohorts in Indonesia.
• BINUS University International Relations Program: Major private university in Jakarta with an established International Relations program. Comparable as an Indonesian IR degree provider, though with a private-sector revenue model rather than government funding, illustrating the demand-side alternative.
• Universitas Padjadjaran Department of International Relations: Public university IR department in Sumedang/Bandung. Comparable as an Indonesian state-university IR program competing for similar domestic students and operating under the same tri dharma higher-education framework.
• Parahyangan Catholic University International Relations: Private Catholic university in Bandung with a well-known International Relations program. Comparable as a domestic IR-degree peer with international and ASEAN-focused curriculum offerings.

Broad incumbents

• SOAS University of London: UK-based specialist institution offering international relations and area studies degrees. Comparable as a global higher-education peer in international affairs teaching and research, though broader in scope than a single IR department.
• London School of Economics Department of International Relations: Globally ranked IR department within LSE offering undergraduate and graduate programs and significant research output. Comparable as a leading IR academic unit, setting benchmarks for curriculum and research impact even though it is far larger in scale.

Emerging players

• Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Indonesia: Jakarta-based think tank conducting policy research on international relations, geopolitics, and strategic studies. Comparable to the department's CSGS as a parallel Indonesian research voice on strategic and global affairs, though structured as a think tank rather than an academic department.
