Description
Many problems are global in scope, transcending national boundaries and requiring global solutions. Complex underlying local, national and international political and economic institutions and processes structure and manage the research, policy debates and international negotiations aimed at reaching agreements and finding ways to implement solutions for the problems themselves. This integrative program is designed to offer all students, regardless of major or career aspirations, a means of acquiring some of the tools and practical experience they will need when they enter the work force, assume leadership positions in their communities and deal with complex, interconnected problems on a scale never before faced by humans.
