Professor Shakleina came to MGIMO University in 2006, and in 2007 was appointed Chair of the Department of Applied International Analysis. This Department was established in 2006 to improve preparation of diplomats and IR specialists giving them profound knowledge in theory and practice of applied political research to develop professional analytical skills so necessary in diplomatic service, in government agencies and think tanks. One of very important tasks for the Department was to continue and develop the School of structural analysis of international relations that was originally founded in MGIMO University in 1960s and 1970s. (See information about the Department of Applied International Analysis).
