Centre for Policy Research and International Studies (CenPRIS) CenPRIS is a research centre, serving as the focus of the University’s efforts in applied social research, consultancy services and post-graduate supervision related to public policy and international studies. The Centre was established in 2007 from the amalgamation of two existing Centres of Excellence of the University: the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), which was established in 1974, and the Centre for International Studies (CIS), which was established in 2004. With the amalgamation, in the context of increasing globalisation and Malaysia being a highly open economy, the public policy aspect of the Centre’s activities now has an international dimension to it. Nation building, which is the key research theme of the Centre, will have both domestic and international perspectives. Research focus areas at CenPRIS are (in the area of public policy): public private sector collaboration policies, social sustainability policies, urban growth and rural modernisation policies, science and technology policies, ethnic and cultural policies; and (in the area of international studies): globalisation and regionalism, global political reform, international political economy and international relations. Two highly celebrated institutions are housed in CenPRIS – The Noordin Sopiee Chair in Global Studies and the Right Livelihood College. The Noordin Sopiee Chair in Global Studies, established in 2007, has as its current theme, “The Role of Religion in a Globalising World”, thus giving CenPRIS an additional research focus area. The Right Livelihood College was officially established in January 2009 with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between USM and the Right Livelihood Awards Foundation of Sweden (RLAF). The Centre’s post-graduate studies program prepares candidates for scholarly and leadership roles in government, universities, research organisations, and other settings where knowledge and research skills in public policy and international studies are needed. The Centre is committed to accomplishing this mission by creating an intellectually vibrant atmosphere for scholarship involving an active faculty from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines and extensive interaction with government agencies and community groups.
Achievements The Centre’s key achievements to date include: – The establishment of two national microfinance institutions – Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM) and Tabung Ekonomi Kumpulan Usaha Niaga (TEKUN); – The organisation of the USM Ambassadorial Lecture Series, the Malaysian Foreign Policy Roundtable, and the Malaysia-Australia Dialogue on Asian Futures; – The initiation of the Right Livelihood College Laureates Fellowship Program; – The publication of the “Religion in the Globalising World” (Monograph) Series and the USM-APEX Intellectual Discourse (Monograph) Series; – The implementation of the Penang Malays Heritage Project and the Endangered Languages Research Project Study/Course/Service Offerings Master Of Arts And Doctor Of Philosophy (Research) Research Thrust Areas • Political Economy - Indigenous Knowledge • Development Economics & Finance - Social Sustainability Studies • Science & Technology Policies - International Relations & Area Studies • Ethnic & Cultural Studies - Local Government Studies • Public-Private Partnership Policies - Public Institutions Impact Studies Admission Requirements Applicants should possess one of the following: For M.A. - A Bachelors degree in related areas For Ph.D. - A Masters or Bachelors (First Class Honours / CGPA >3.67) degree in related areas.
