Some of the colloquium speakers also gave public talks for the campus, such as James Rosenau on “Dilemmas of Globalization
and Global Governance.” Rosenau said, “I enjoyed every minute of and came away impressed with the tasks the Institute
has shouldered and the way it is carrying them out. I really was consistently taken by the depth and breadth of your efforts.
And clearly, the students are thriving.”
In addition to their coursework, the students also had to participate on two committees; this year they chose from Program
(Symposium), Inquiry, Multimedia, Film Series, Special Events, Voices from the Field, Logistics, and Public Relations.
Students also conducted a broad range of research throughout both semesters, with paper topics including “China: Into
the ‘Dark Continent’”; “Hugo Chavez and the Erosion of Venezuelan Democracy”; “The Influence of Haitian Immigrants on
the Achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals in the Dominican Republic”; “Revisiting the Past:
A Field-based Analysis of UNMIK’s Legacy in Kosovo”; “The Power of Publicity in Public Policy: How the 2005 Riots Brought
Attention to the Situation of Muslim Immigrants in France”; “Hindu Sindhis and Global Governance” and “The Internet as a
Free Marketplace of Ideas: Internet Governance and the Net Neutrality Debate”.
The Norris and Margery Bendetson EPIIC International Symposium and Public Programming
All of the students’ work during the first semester laid the foundation for EPIIC’s public programming in the second semester.
This year’s EPIIC international symposium gathered 68 practitioners, policymakers, scholars, journalists, artists, and
musicians together to explore, discuss and debate. The topics ranged from illicit trade and conflict to democratization in
the Middle East, from confronting pandemics to how the media sets the news agenda, from the role of international law
to the future of the United Nations, from nuclear proliferation to alleviating extreme poverty, from global governance and
multinational corporations to the militarization of humanitarian space.
A key draw of the symposium
was the Saturday evening
panel on “Global Governance
and
Multinational
Corporations: Changing Roles
and Responsibilities” which
featured the participation
