The Economics Division of
the Centre for Studies in Diplomacy, International Law & Economics (CSDILE)
is popularly known as the International Trade & Development (ITD) Division. ITD (along with its parent
Centre CSDILE) is one of the oldest departments of the erstwhile Indian
The ITD division has been
involved in the teaching of economics as well as research in the fields of
International Trade and Economic Development for nearly half a century. The
first head of the division was the renowned economist, the late Professor A.K. Dasgupta. He was succeeded by Professor Ashok
Guha who has been the guiding force behind the
division since 1963. Professor Guha continues to be
associated with the teaching and research activities of the Centre. The list of
former teachers includes B.S. Minhas, Subimal Mukherji, Partha Dasgupta and others.

In addition to the long
standing M.Phil and Ph.D. programmes
run by the division, a new and unique M.A. programme in Economics (with
specialization on World Economy) was introduced in 1995. Keeping in
mind the changing economic environment of India and its growing integration
with the global economy, this new M.A. programme was designed with a clear
emphasis on emerging global issues like trade, technology, environment, natural
resources, currency and finance, which makes it unique and distinct from
conventional MA programmes in economics offered elsewhere in India. This is indeed one of the most successful and popular M.A.
programmes in Economics in the country. The popularity of the programme is
revealed by the increasing number of applications every year (800-1000 for 20
seats). Its success is evident from the placement of our students even within
this short 9-year span of the existence of our MA programme. Many students opt
for higher studies and research after completing their MA. MA's from the
department have received offers from MIT, Stanford,
The
division is run by a small but very distinguished team of faculty,
educated at universities like Harvard, MIT,
