- Paris, France
This six-week Summer 1 program based in Brussels and Paris aims to provide a survey of contemporary global challenges through guided classroom discussion and site visits to numerous international organizations. The program is divided into two halves: the first three weeks in Brussels will be focused on The Theory and Practice of International Organizations (GOV 360N), while the second three weeks in Paris will feature Foundations in International Relations and Global Studies (IRG 320F). In both of these courses, students will assess the scholarly and policy debates surrounding key global political, economic, social and environmental challenges for the modern world as well as gain first-hand awareness of the efforts to address these challenges by state and civil society actors within global governance institutions.
