In 1988, CERIS launched its Executive Master in International Politics (MAIP), designed specifically for diplomats, international civil servants, corporate executives and journalists. It covers the main aspects of contemporary international relations and combines lectures, case studies, seminars, presentations and supervised research activities. We live in a globalized world where regions and states have grown more and more interdependent. Therefore, for all those whose work takes them beyond the fines of the frontiers of their country, an in-depth study of international relations is becoming essential.
