    My interest in International Relations and my decision to continue my education in

    this field is the outcome of my profound interest in Asian studies. Majoring in History
    of India, during my final year I became especially interested in the sphere of
    International Relations and Foreign Policy of India, writing my thesis on Indian
    Foreign Policy during Nehru's Government and Indian-Chinese relations. Two trips to
    India 1997 and 1998 allowed me to become better acquainted with this country, refine
    my knowledge of Hindi and collect unique data for my research. This unforgettable
    experience convinced me that I had made the right choice of study, leading me to
    apply for a PhD Degree so as to extend my research in this field.
    I have so far completed two years of the PhD program at St. Petersburg State
    University. My dissertation aims at disclosing those problems which still hinder the
    process of normalization between the two Asian countries, India and China, reflecting
    on how Indian scholars perceive these issues. Thus my research covers both Regional
    Studies and field of International Relations as a global world system where these two
    countries play an important role.
    My presentation of a paper on Indo-Chinese Relations in 1980s at the international
    conference "East Asia - St. Petersburg - Europe: inter-civilization contacts and
    perspectives on economic cooperation" held in St. Petersburg a year ago gave me the
    opportunity to meet many outstanding researchers, including my referee, Marcia
    Ristaino, who encouraged me to continue my studies focusing specifically on
    International Relations and Regional Studies. For that reason I applied and was
    accepted to the MA Program in International Relations and European Studies at
    Central European University in Budapest with a scholarship from Soros foundation.
    The courses I am taking here will provide me with a sound background in theoretical
    issues in International Relations.
    The reason of why I am applying for another Master's Degree is that the CEU
    program, despite its theoretical strength, has very few courses directly related to my
    major interest, Regional Studies and conflict resolution and peacekeeping. For this
    reason I would like to deepen my practical understanding of International Relations
    and relate it to a more focused concentration on conflict analysis and resolution
    through the program of the Carleton University.
    I am aware of the high reputation of your school and the excellent Master's program
    that you offer at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs. I believe it will
    certainly help me with my research and career objectives either through work in
    diplomatic service or at an international organization where I will be able to apply my
    knowledge and skills obtained through studies at your University.
    Courses such as Conflict Analysis, International Mediation and Conflict Resolution
    and International Organizations in International Affairs will be very helpful for my
    analyzing of the problems in the South Asian subcontinent and beyond it and will
    allow me to deeper understand the reasons for numerous interstate and intrastate
    conflicts that persist in the region. Moreover these courses will be of particular
    relevance to my career plans which are to find employment with UN or a similar
    institution in the field of conflict resolution and peacekeeping. The possibility to
    combine theoretical studies with practical skills in conflict analysis and resolution at
    the Carleton University will enable me to become a good specialist who will be able
    to contribute to the common cause of peace in the world. I am eager to become a
    professional orientalist, as I believe this field of study will always be important in the
    changing world where Asian countries such as India and China play significant roles
    in the international arena. MA at the Carleton University would be a precious
    experience both in terms of my academic and professional career. I hope you will give
    me the opportunity to realize my ambition.
