The Otto -Suhr- Institute for Political Science (OSI ) is an Institute of the Free University of Berlin. It is part of the Department of Political and Social Sciences and the largest political science institute in Germany. It is named after the former mayor of Berlin, Otto Suhr (1894-1957, SPD). At the Otto -Suhr- Institute study nearly 3500 students, of which approximately 17% are from abroad.

History

The OSI was produced in 1959 from the German University of Politics, founded in 1920, which was as foreign Sciences under the direction of Franz Six of the University of Berlin under the Nazis. (see Albrecht Haushofer, Harro Schulze- Boysen, Rainer Hildebrandt) and was re-opened after closure at the end of World War II in 1948.

At the time of the '68 movement, the Otto -Suhr- Institute think tank was for ' left ' and later for 'alternative' policy. In the beginning, especially ' critical ' students who anhefteten the Otto -Suhr- Institute an ostensibly left-wing image, but this changed in the 1970s and 1980s: The march through the institutions ended for many of the former revolutionaries now even on chairs the universities.

In the course of the international harmonization of programs at the diploma program was reformed in political science in 2003 and supplemented by consecutive graded courses with Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Political Science at the Otto -Suhr- Institute. In addition, the Otto -Suhr- Institute in collaboration with the University of Potsdam and the Humboldt -Universität zu Berlin offers a Master of Arts in International Relations. These structural changes, along with a computerized monitoring and management of the study progress of students through the so-called "Campus Management" software since the introduction of an ongoing point of contention between the students and the university administration. Since the approval of the Otto -Suhr- Institute settled Collaborative Research Centre 700 " Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood " by the German Research Foundation in 2006, parts of the students and teachers an increasing focus of research and teaching in the political science part of the field of international relations to detriment of political theory and the history of ideas criticized. This development led to violent confrontations to appeal.

Currently, the programs have to be revised. The Otto -Suhr- Institute will in future offer a Bachelor of Arts with a standard study period of eight semesters and a Master of Arts with two semesters.

Part of the OSI is housed in the former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics.
