International relations as a distinct field of study began in Britain. International Relations emerged as a formal academic discipline in 1919, just after the end of World War I, with the founding of the first International Relations professorship: the Woodrow Wilson Chair at Aberystwyth, University of Wales (now Aberystwyth University), endowed by David Davies. Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service is the oldest International Relations faculty in the United States, founded in 1919. In the early 1920s, the famed London School of Economics Department of International Relations was founded at the behest of Nobel Peace Prize winner Philip Noel-Baker: this was the first institute to offer a wide range of degrees in the field. This was rapidly followed by establishment of International Relations at universities in the United States and in Geneva, Switzerland. The creation of the posts of Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and at Oxford gave further impetus to the academic study of international relations. Furthermore, the International History department at the London School of Economics developed a focus on the history of International Relations in the early modern, colonial and Cold War periods. The first university entirely dedicated to the study of International Relations was the Graduate Institute of International Studies (now the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies), which was founded in 1927 to form diplomats associated to the League of Nations. The Committee on International Relations at the University of Chicago was the first to offer a graduate degree, in 1928. In 1965, Glendon College and the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs were the first institutions in Canada to offer an undergraduate and a graduate program in international studies and affairs, respectively.
As also understood from the information given, the correct answer is C. The statements in the option I “International relations as a distinct field of study began in Britain and International Relations emerged as a formal academic discipline in 1919 at Aberystwyth, University of Wales (now Aberystwyth University).”, in the option III “In the early 1920s, the famed London School of Economics Department of International Relations, the first institute to offer a wide range of degrees in the field, was founded.”, in the option V “The Committee on International Relations at the University of Chicago was the first to offer a graduate degree, in 1928.” and in the option VI “In 1965, Glendon College and the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs were the first institutions in Canada to offer an undergraduate and a graduate program in international studies and affairs, respectively.” are correct. The statement in the option II “The University of Chicago’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service is the oldest International Relations faculty in the United States, founded in 1919.” is not correct because of the fact that Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service is the oldest International Relations faculty in the United States, founded in 1919. The statement in the option VI “The first university entirely dedicated to the study of International Relations was the Graduate Institute of International Studies (now the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) which was founded in 1928.” is not correct, either. “The first university entirely dedicated to the study of International Relations was the Graduate Institute of International Studies (now the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) which was founded in 1927.”
