Ph.D. Program in Political Systems and Institutional Change / PSIC

The doctoral program in Political Systems and Institutional Change at IMT is a multidisciplinary course that uses a comparative perspective to analyze the historical, political, sociological, legal and economic features of institutions. Special attention is devoted to processes of institutional change. The Ph.D. program aims at forming political analysts able to: plan and manage collaborative and integrated processes at the international level; analyze and assess policies and institutional settings at supranational, national and regional levels; and to confront the specific problems of countries in transition towards democracy and a market economy.

Comprehensive scholarships and funding are available for the Ph.D. program in Political Systems and Institutional Change.

For more information, see the current Ph.D. Call for Applications.
