PREAMBLE
The role of higher education is vital in securing the gainful employment and providing further
access to higher education comparable to the best available in the world-class institutions
elsewhere. The improvement in the quality of higher education, therefore, deserves to be given
tom-most priority to enable the young generation of students to acquireskill, training and
knowledge to enhance their thinking, comprehension andapplication abilities and prepare

present higher education system for improving andupgrading the academic resources and
learning environments by raising the quality ofteaching and standards of achievements in

Cell (IQAC). A series of teacher training workshops were organised by IQAC and the office of
the Credit and Semester System (CSS), and the departments have revised the syllabus
accordingly, through workshops and in consultation with academic experts in the field.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Political Science was established on 18 September 1957 with the
appointment of Dr.V.K.SukumaranNayar as Head of the Department. The Department of
Political Science was declared as a Department of Study and Research of the University with
ex-officio membership in the Senate for the Head of the Department. A Board of Post-
Graduate Studies in Politics was constituted with Dr. V.K.SukumaranNayar as Chairman and
with the late Prof.R.Bhaskaran of Madras University, Dr.K.B.Y.Thotappa of Mysore
University, Prof. J.Ramachandran of Presidency College(former Vice-Chancellor, Madurai
University) the late Prof.K.P.Pillay (Professor of History and Politics of the University
College and Professor of Politics of the S.N.College,Quilon) and the late Prof.V.Narayana
Pillay(later on acting Vice-Chancellor of the Kerala University ) as members. The Board of
Studies revised the courses of studies in Politics at the Post-Graduate level providing for
specialisation in four branches, Political Theory, Comparative Politics, Public Administration
and International Relations. The Department had conducted several summer institutes,
workshops and seminars from the early period itself. The Department offers programmes
leading to M.A. Political Science, M.A. Public Administration, M.A. Politics, International
Relations and Diplomacy and M.Phil. Political Science and Ph.D Political Science/Public
Administration.
The Department celebrated its Silver Jubilee during 1983-84 and the Golden jubilee in 2007.
During the last 60 years the Department of Political Science has emerged as the leading Post-
Graduate Research Centre in South India especially in the areas of Indian Politics with special
focus on state and Society in Kerala, International Politics, Comparative Politics and Public
Administration. The Department has already produced 135 Ph.Ds and 215 M.Phil
dissertations in different areas of political science. It has earned a special place in the study of
psephology being the first state in the country to conduct a scientific analysis of voting
behaviour, as early as 1965. Since 1996, the Department has been continuously engaging in
numerous empirical studies, both on the eve of elections and otherwise to gauge the socio-
political mood of the people on contemporary issues.
The Department has a tradition of undertaking international projects with the support of
various agencies abroad. One such programme recently run by the Department is the Fulbright
International Education Programme. As part of this, the Department has already exchanged
six members, including faculty and research students, to the Claremont Graduate University,
California, USA for teaching and research. The Claremont University has also deputed its
teachers and researchers to this Department. This project is mainly funded by the US State
Department and the Claremont Graduate University USA while a portion of it on a cost
sharing basis is met by the University of Kerala also.The Department is actively negotiating
new projects with University of New South Wales, University of Sydney, Australian National
University, Australia, University of Leithbridge, Alberta, Canada, New Zealand Asia Institute,
Auckland, New Zealand etc. Proposals for similar exchange Programmes are also initiated
with the South Asia Institute at Hidelberg University, Germany and University of Leeds, UK.
In the past, the Department has also involved in collaborative projects with Maism De
Sciences Del Homme, Paris, France. The faculty of the Department has also won Fulbright
visiting Professor award, Salzburg Awards, Sasthri-Indo Canadian Fellowship etc. The
Department has been recognized by the UGC under the Eleventh Plan for the Special
Assistance Programme (SAP). This was awarded in the year 2007 on the topic Challenges of
4
Globalization: Ethnicity and Terrorism in South India. Another breakthrough came when
UGC awarded the Nehru Studies Centre in 2005 under the scheme of Epoch-making Social
Thinkers of India. This Scheme was extended for the Eleventh plan also.
