Course description
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The summer school offers a unique opportunity to learn and discuss about structures, actors and substance of global governance in dialogue with academic experts and practitioners from pertinent international organizations and NGOs based in Geneva.
Next to lectures on the history of globalization, the functioning of international (governmental and non-governmental) organizations and the transformative potential of global power shifts, the emphasis will be on particular thematic fields of global governance such as trade, development, environmental protection and international migration. While all thematic fields will be approached through a combination of academic lectures and structured visits/workshops with pertinent international organizations, a particular focus of the 2016 summer school will be on the chances and challenges of global migration governance.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of this course, participants will have a general understanding of some of the cutting-edge issues in global governance / international politics and law today and will have established a network of contacts with academics and practitioners working in the field. This will allow them to either orient their future studies or refresh and extend existing knowledge.
Evaluation:
Participants are evaluated based on a group presentation on the last days of the two-weeks summer school (equivalence of 4 ECTS). Students wanting to acquire 6 ECTS have the opportunity to do so on the basis of a satisfactory take-home paper, to be written within a month after the end of the summer school.
Please note: Changes to the draft program may be made at any time prior to the start of the course.
