About

International Burch University is the leading private university in Bosnia and Herzegovina, developing the leaders of tomorrow, producing world-class research, and supporting the socio-economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is relatively young, established in 2008, but can boast of 3,000 alumni and counting, thousands of peer-reviewed publications, and dozens of thousands of citations. This attests to its educational, research, and societal impact, not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also worldwide. Although International Burch University is a comprehensive university, with study programmes and experts in various non-political science areas such as electrical engineering, genetics, and pedagogy, it has a strong programme in international relations and European studies but also the Social Sciences Research Center, both of which are well-equipped to carry out high-level teaching and research in the field of political science. The Social Sciences Research Center, as a university-affiliated think tank, acts locally but thinks globally in conducting epistemologically diverse and methodologically rigorous research aimed at filling demonstrated knowledge gaps and, through that, contribute to better policymaking. We specialize in research our societies, endeavoring to highlight the role of politics, widely understood, in seemingly disparate fields such as economics and law.
