Description

This year-long seminar focuses on the process of generating, assessing, and advancing innovative ideas in the arena of international and global affairs. Students will work to develop new thinking which offers leaders new roadmaps for action in international and global contexts, addresses the challenge of implementing change, and strives to improve policy and organizational effectiveness. The initial part of the seminar will profile women and men from around the world who have successfully advanced ideas that had an impact on social, political, and economic problems. The latter part will focus on real-world strategies for transforming analysis about policy problems into action. The seminar structures students' thinking and efforts around the Policy Analysis Exercise (PAE). The seminar strives to hone the professional skills students developed during their first year as MPPs, including writing memos, drafting op-eds, delivering crisp oral presentations, and mapping political networks.

Open to MPP2 students only.
