Department of Economic Theory and International Relations

The Department of Economic Theory and International Relations was established in 2014 by uniting three departments (Economic Theory and World Economy, Economic Theory, History and Politics and Business Management). The department aims at enhancing education, research and development in the field of global economy, foreign economic activity and international business through applying modern learning and teaching methods.

Nowadays, the educational process is ensured by 5 doctors of sciences, 9 candidates of sciences (PhD) and senior lecturers, as well as by heads and employees of organisations and institutions within the professional focus of future graduates. The teaching staff interacts with the public authorities of the city of Penza and the Penza Region and engages in the activity of expert commissions. In addition, the department takes an active part in the Free Economic Society of Russia (Moscow) and the Federal Register of Experts in Scientific and Technical Sphere (REESTR).

Annually the department holds two conferences, namely all-Russian research-to-practice conference “Economy and International Relations: Problems, Trends, Prospects” and international research-to-practice conference “The World in the Era of Modernisation and Globalisation: Legal, Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Aspects”, which bring together students, postgraduate students, teachers and researchers from Russian and foreign higher education institutions. The teaching staff stimulates students research and participation in various competitions, olympiads and conferences. The department runs the student research team “Economics, sociology, politics”. This encourages the participation of students in research within priority areas under state, interuniversity and university grants, thus improving the quality of education and creating favourable environment for creativity among students.

To promote the degree programmes offered at the department, its teaching staff arranges and assists in organising various activities for schoolchildren, including regional conference “I Explore the World”, competition “Top Class – Penza”, project “Business Club 58”, youth project “Leaders of the 21st Century”, all-Russian olympiad for schoolchildren in Penza and many others.

The Department of Economic Theory and International Relations was awarded the diploma and letter of gratitude from the Penza Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry for active engagement in arranging and holding interregional specialised exhibitions. For substantial contribution to training professionals for the Gansu Province (China), the department twice received the letters of gratitude from the Head of the Kangfa Company (Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China).
