Statement Of Purpose: The Dean Rusk International Studies Program

Many of the authors of the readings for this week seem to be writing past each other. While all of these readings come from a 10-year time span and discuss multilateralism and/or sovereignty, there are stark distinctions in who or what is being discussed as the referent object of international relations or world order. This begs the question, can we read, for instance, Stephen Krasner and Robert Cox in dialogue with each other or are they writing on the same general topic, but from such distinct frameworks that the discussion ultimately collapses? Even if the discussion does collapse, is there something worthwhile in attempting to engage these authors?

I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard my father (John) yelling at the general of the military (Henry) about how our military was considered weak because the army he had commanded during the American Revolution and it was not replaced. I only herd two things, but they were extremely loud. They were: the government did not have the money and that Americans learned that a standing national army could be used to take away their liberty. Once I got scared from my father yelling I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn’t. All I herd was yelling and yelling all night about how we were receiving threats from Great Britain while they controlled

By helping students understand the ethical dimensions of leadership, while taking what they learn in the classrooms to help solve problems and bring about change, Missouri State strives to prepare students for the future. Study abroad programs are utilized by many departments, including the CDR, in order to offer students opportunities which will increase their cultural competence. Furthermore, community engagement allows students to experience how the world works through a different lens, giving them the opportunity to work with their communities and build up their ability to lead in their careers.

Throughout my life I’ve wanted to be everything ranging from a ballerina to a surgeon, but the job that I can truly see myself doing is working abroad in women’s rights. When I started my college search, the first thing I looked for in a school was a program that allowed me to pursue both my interest in foreign studies and women’s rights. Tulane offers extensive programs abroad and through the school that would allow me to pursue my interests in women’s rights and international studies; however, why I want to attend Tulane doesn’t just lie with the majors offered. The reasons I am drawn to Tulane comes down to three things: the location, the diversity of the school, and the importance Tulane puts on social action.

Iowa State University prides itself on its mission to “Create, share, and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place” (Iowa State University Office of the President: Mission and Vision). This mission focuses on the success of each and every student that attends Iowa State. In order for Iowa State’s Study Abroad program to follow the foundational mission of the entire university, it had to create a mission that also focused on the students. The mission they have formed and stand today consists of: putting emphasis on developing strong international adventures. In order for students to go out to other countries to receive a quality education, the Study Abroad program must create a strong base on which they are able to form equal quality education as Iowa State provides no matter where a student goes. To promote opportunities that are inclusive and affordable for all students. To prepare students and directors for success when studying abroad. To advance standards of safety and uphold

The United States foreign policy is an interaction between the United States and foreign nations. Foreign policy sets standards on how different organizations, corporations, and individual citizens should interact with one another. Some Americans believe the United States should remain withdrawn from the affairs of foreign countries, but other Americans believe the United States should involve itself in the affairs of foreign countries. In 1796, George Washington included these words in his farewell address, “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” These words from George Washington shaped the foreign policy of the United States for over a century.

With lack of opportunities and inadequate resources, people are unable to escape poverty. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, I believe no one should be left behind. I am choosing the George Washington University (GWU) because I want to acquire business knowledge with an international focus and society in mind, join a network of individual with the courage to reach difficult goals, and gain credibility as I strive to make an impact on peoples’ lives.

Over the past few years I have discovered how deeply I want to be involved in politics and international affairs. With those goals in mind, I researched colleges with the best programs for those majors. The college that stood out to me the most was George Washington University. One of the biggest things that stood out was that there is an entire school dedicated to international affairs. This means that there is room for me to grow in any concentration I wish, with a quality staff to guide me along the way. Moreover, it is important for me to be in a diverse and understanding community so George Washington’s involvement with increasing inclusion and creating a culture of cultural empathy makes the school a great fit for me. Additionally, I

The Seton Hall University name is well known through the northeast, leading to my interest in the institution. Its location in Newark opens doors to not only occupations there, but also in New York City, Philadelphia, D.C, and Boston among other places. Being born and raised in the Boston area, the authenticity to the city is much like Newark’s, which is appealing to those already accustomed to that setting. Academically, Seton Hall’s Law and the Global Community program is exactly the type of international law program I am looking for. The relationship that Seton Hall has with the United Nations creates exciting prospects for future interning, considering my dream has always been to work for the United Nations Security Council. The university’s

Proposed strategy for the expansion of a Liberian fellowship model to other West African countries through the completion of extensive background research, creation of country strategies, trip support, and outreach to local and foreign individuals and organizations

Our elders always tell us that if an opportunity is handed to you, grab it. The moment I saw Kuya Scott’s photos in Mahidol University, I said to myself “I would do anything to be able to apply.” I kept on hoping that it would be open to all, and when Ma’am Sally introduced about the Global Internship Programs and said that it is open to everyone and not just to those who are part of the Dean’s List, it made me feel ecstatic.

    Then, it came time to research my priority: the academics. Seeing that Hofstra encourages students to go beyond the classroom to learn, something that I haven’t had many opportunities to do in high school, solidified my choice on deciding my interest is global studies. The interdisciplinary global studies program

In May of my sophomore year, I was invited to attend the 2016 Women Deliver Health Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. I had received a full scholarship intended to benefit young African-American students displaying academic excellence and a true passion for global health. I took my ticket, my seat, my scholarship, and I didn’t look back. I networked, collaborated, and learned from everyone around me. I attended talks by Melinda Gates and the PM of Denmark. I was eager to bring what I had learned back to the U.S, and my community.

Kegley and Raymond stated: “The shape of the world’s future will be determined not only by changes in the objective conditions of world politics, but also by the meanings people ascribe to these conditions.” Terrorism is presently a major factor in international relations and has impacted the world to change in many significant ways. Terrorism is a political ideology that has been problematic in defining definitely because of its various interpretations around the world, as well as the fact that it is constantly evolving. Since the terrorist events of 9/11, the lives of many have been changed forever. A small group of individuals, which are a mere fraction of the population of the world, have managed to impact and shape the way international and domestic relations are looked at and handled. People question how secure and safe they feel due to uncertainty of public safety because of events such as 9/11. The war on terrorism in the 21st century has certainly and inevitably changed the landscape for global politics. However, the relationship between terrorism and global politics is troublesome and in ways problematic to describe accurately. Both terrorism and global politics individually are complicated phenomenon. It is erroneous to propose that one is responsible for the other or vice versa, but they are inextricably and inevitably linked. In the study of international relations, there are multiple theories and theoretical perspectives. In this essay, realism and liberalism
