Global Studies: New York, New York
International Government in an Era of Globalization

June 22 - July 26, 2008

Global Studies-NewYork Overview

New York is the place where global policy is formed on issues ranging from terrorism to HIV prevention. This summer, you can explore the world’s most cosmopolitan city as you study the architecture of contemporary global governance and its premier international institution--the United Nations. The program will consider how other major international organizations, such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization, interact with the United Nations to influence public policy around the world. Classroom sessions will be supplemented by visits to the UN and to the headquarters of major nongovernmental organizations. Students will come to understand how global conflict is managed and how the many forces of global society come together to influence policy decisions at the highest level.

Scholarships: Merit-based scholarships of $1,000 from the UCLA International Institute are available for ten outstanding UCLA Global Studies Majors or Minors participating on a Global Studies summer program. Global Studies Majors/Minors must have a 3.50GPA overall for their academic studies at UCLA. The Scholarship Application is due March 28, 2008. Since scholarships are limited in number, we recommend that UCLA students interested in the program's scholarship also apply for financial aid by the necessary deadlines.
