International mobility and collaboration

The Doctorate in Political Studies is at the centre of an extensive network of universities and international research centres.

  • Munk School for Global Affairs and Graham Centre for Contemporary International History, University of Toronto

The collaboration focuses on the study of contemporary issues in international relations and on the public use of history, particularly on peace and security issues; it has so far been carried out through the mobility of professors and PhD students and in the organization of joint panels at international conferences.

  • London School of Economics and Political Science

The PhD, together with the L.S.E. and other European and Italian universities, has organized an annual Summer school on Cold War history from 2009 to 2017. Since 2020 the project’s leadership has passed to the university of Utrecht, which has organized the Cold War summer school in 2021

  • SciencesPo Paris

Cooperation between the two institutions focuses on professors’ and PhD students’ mobility and research on the history of international and Italian politics. In recent years, the two institutions signed two co-tutorship agreements.

  • Woodrow Wilson Centre for International Studies – Washington

The collaboration mainly concerns the organization of the annual Summer School of the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project, to which Roma Tre PhD students may be admitted. Furthermore, PhD students carrying out their research in the United States regularly rely on the facilities of the Wilson Centre.
