Which is the best IR school for foreign grad students with no funding of their own?

Well let me amplify : I'm a 40 year old infantry colonel from the Indian Gurkhas with 2 decades of counter insurgency and a short stint in UN peacekepping operations. I want to pursue conflict resolution preferably in the UN.

Thanx for the prompt reply.The two major reasons I want to go the academic routes are :-

(a) An education in a top American university is a treasured experience which anyone living in modern times should aspire for.

(b) If you are from the third world the UN raises its nose and sniffs, unless you have a recognizable degree .....from a western university. I know thats not totally true but I've known a lot of colleagues who dont even get a call as a UN V!

What i expect from an American IR degree are the following :-

(a) An insight into inter-state and intra state relations from experienced and highly knowledgeable professors.

(b) An opportunity to study theory of conflicts,especially ethnic ones, and peacekeeping.

(c) Arrive at the path where my experience and background can make the difference.

(d) An opportunity to meet people in an international setting.15 years of sitting on various mountain and jungle tops tends to make you a bit of the proverbial frog in the well, even if you do have an MSc in defence and Strategic studies!!

But I'm absolutely open to advice, especially with respect to the choice of university and particular course.

I'm still unclear about why you want this degree.

Does the UN require that you have the analytical skills you're describing? Is there a specific job description that mentioned being able to analyze interstate and intrastate conflicts? I've read UN job descriptions and they're pretty vague and award points for work experience. Plus they have specific types of requirements like knowledge of SPSS, Microfit or Java programming, so how would what your describing polish your resume?

The UN has offices throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, etc., so you can get a job in Geneva as easily as the US.

I'm looking specifically at vacancies in political affairs and DPKO. They require a degree in international relations in addition to work experience.

I've looked over UN job advertisements and have not seen requirements for degrees in IR. Plus job experience is a substitute for those types of degrees. American schools are not better situated than European schools at providing grad degrees for an NGO like the UN.

") An education in a top American university is a treasured experience "

I think 2 decades of counterinsurgency experience is on a whole different level from "American university". But if you learn to speak the lingo of the academics maybe you can have more influence and prevent the policy-makers from making the mistakes they have made in the past.
