The World Economy and International Affairs faculty is a research and education centre focusing on the global economy, international relations, and oriental studies. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the subjects allows the Faculty to reflect their real-life interdependence. Economists receive basic understanding of international relations, culture, and people's value systems. International Relations specialists benefit from an introduction to economics and applied mathematics. Both groups graduate from the BA course with a good grasp of two foreign languages. Asian Studies students not only study the languages and cultures of Asia, but also the economics, politics and entrepreneurial culture of the region.

While speaking on the topic, Nandan Unnikrishnan discussed the importance of the Eurasian vast geographic space for India in its national economic development as well as geopolitics. He placed this within the context of ongoing geopolitical churn in the region, with India’s vision being dominated by the presence and rise of China. He highlighted the impact of ongoing Sino-Indian border dispute and Chinese efforts to spread its regional influence in making it the most consequential security challenge for New Delhi. In addition, India faces key issues of economic development, poverty, illiteracy and climate change. Mr. Unnikrishnan argued that India needs enormous investments to achieve its potential of being a key global actor. However, Eurasia is currently focused almost entirely on geopolitics and not geo-economics, which creates difficult conditions for the future. Also, if India wants to be a great power, it needs to engage with all other great powers. In this context, relations with Russia become particularly important with the aim of avoiding the emergence of bipolarity. But there are multiple pressures on this bilateral relationship, which will require creative thinking from both sides.
