t h e f l e t c h e r c o n n e c t i o n :a m e s s a g e f r o m t h e d e a nThe 21 st century has presented the world with profound challenges.From the reconstruction of post-conflict societies and the creation ofmarkets in emerging economies to the analysis of terrorist threats andthe promotion of human rights, today’s issues transcend borders anddisciplines. Common to all of these challenges are the connectionsbetween history, politics, and culture that we must understand torespond effectively. The Fletcher School is distinctive among leadingprofessional schools of international affairs for our collaborative,cross-disciplinary approach to identifying and illuminating thoseconnections. In fact, the Fletcher experience can best be understood asa series of connections itself:Fletcher’s philosophy connects theory and practice. We trainbroadly knowledgeable and curious leaders to develop a thoroughand nuanced grounding in the latest political, economic,business, and legal thinking and translate it into practical,successful actions that shape international issues and events.Fletcher’s curriculum connects interests and coursework.The flexibility of our curriculum allows students to tailor theireducation to their particular interests in the internationalarena and encourages them to explore those interests fromnew perspectives.

Fletcher’s community connects students to an academic,professional, and social network that lasts a lifetime. Ourprofessors and alumni are active players on the global stage andare ready and willing to share their experience and contacts in thepublic, private, and nonprofit sectors with our current students.Since our founding in 1933, Fletcher graduates have become innovativeleaders and problem solvers in business, government, and nongovernmentalorganizations worldwide.

ConneCting your interests and eduCation

CONNECTING YOUR INTERESTS AND EDUCATIONFIELDS OF STUDY, TRACKS, CERTIFICATES, ANDCROSS-REGISTRATIONFields of study are the basic building blocks of your education and they provideyou with depth in a particular area. each field consists of a group of relatedcourses specific to a particular topic or geographic area. Though not required, LLMcandidates are able to further specialize by adding an international law track.Fletcher’s certificate programs allow you to complement the MaLD, Ma, orphD degree with further specialization in an area of particular interest to you.each certificate provides a guide to course selection and research and requires arelated internship experience and a capstone project. Selecting courses from fieldsof study, tracks, or certificates allows you to tailor your education to meet personalinterests and professional goals.With faculty approval, you may also create your own specialized field ofstudy by combining courses from Fletcher, and the graduate programs at TuftsUniversity, harvard University, and other institutions. recent examples ofstudent-created fields include international human rights, international migrationand refugee studies, and private sector development.INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS FIELDS OF STUDY(FOR MALD, MIB, MA, AND PHD CANDIDATES)• Development economics• human Security• humanitarian Studies• International Business & economic Law• International Business relations• International environment &resource policy• International Information &Communication• International Monetary Theory & policy• International negotiation &Conflict resolution• International Organizations• International political economy• International Security Studies• International Trade &Commercial policies• Law & Development• pacific asia• political Systems & Theories• public International Law• Southwest asia & Islamic Civilization• United StatesINTERNATIONAL BUSINESS FIELDS OF STUDY (FOR MIB CANDIDATES)• International Finance & Banking• public & nGO Management• Marketing• Strategic Management &International ConsultancyINTERNATIONAL LAW TRACKS (OPTIONAL FOR LLM CANDIDATES)• International Business Law• public International Law• International economic Law(6)

FletCher in the World

“People talk about trade, they discuss investment,but the third factor of production is often missingfrom discussion, and that’s labor.’’Professor katrina burgessI’m currently studying remittances, which are the monies that migrants working abroadsend to their families back home. My primary focus is on collective remittances—fundsraised by groups of migrants to support development projects in their communitiessuch as painting a school, building a road or a clinic, or providing student scholarships.My research asks the question: Does this engagement by transnational actors have anyeffect on local governance? I look at the“when and why” of this dynamic. Are there thingsthat could be done to facilitate a positive effect?This is bottom-up international relations and, in many ways, it is reshaping howthe international system operates. You have people living in a different country gettingtogether, getting organized, and engaging in transnational activity. And in the case ofmy research, these are not the elites. While they may become elite, most are, essentially,the lowest tier of workers, who are acting transnationally. We’re talking aboutbillions and billions of dollars that are flowing from the North to the South. It’s a majorphenomenon, and as a development issue, it’s not yet clear what influence this is havingon the reduction of poverty.So there is a gap in the discussion, and most specifically within my area of politicaleconomy. People talk about trade, they discuss investment, but the third factor of productionis often missing from discussion, and that’s labor. These issues are enormouslyimportant because they are having an impact on the global economy, and on individualcountries, communities, and households.Associate Professor of Political Economy Katrina Burgess earned her PhD from Princeton University and holds degrees from SwarthmoreCollege and the University of Southern California. She is the author of Parties and Unions in the New Global Economy and an upcoming book oncollective remittances in Mexico.(17)

“Looking at the future, we see a truly globalizedworld, with developing markets as theengine of a globalized economy and growth.”Maria Gordon F 98I am originally from the Caucasus, near Chechnya. At 17, I went to Moscow Universityto study journalism, which led to a job as a junior reporter for The Washington Post’sMoscow bureau. I soon realized that I liked research better than writing, so I decidedto study political science. When I was awarded a Fulbright, I enrolled in the Universityof Wisconsin where I got my BA in political science.After graduation I returned to The Washington Post in Moscow and covered BorisYeltsin’s election in 1996. But education called once more and Fletcher’s flexiblecurriculum appealed to me. Fletcher’s approach made it possible to work in differentareas, from diplomacy to economics. I had never done that before.During my first semester at Fletcher I took Professor Laurent Jacque’s introductorybusiness course and became interested in finance. When I went to find an internship,Professor Jacque made a call on my behalf to a former student of his who was workingat Banco Garantia in São Paulo, Brazil. At the time, they were thinking oflaunching a Russian Equities Fund and they offered me a four-month internshipat the bank doing corporate research. It was fascinating work and it reinforced myinterest in emerging markets.When I graduated from Fletcher, I took a job at Goldman Sachs in London,where I managed the Global Emerging Markets Equity Fund, and I am currently anExecutive Vice President at PIMCO, a global investment solutions provider. Looking atthe future, I see a truly globalized world, with developing markets as the engine of aglobalized economy and growth.Maria Gordon is an Executive Vice President at PIMCO in London. She received a BA in political science from the University of Wisconsin and aMALD from The Fletcher School. In 2001, she was awarded the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.(18)

“Facebook and interactive media are being touted asthe next big thing, but what does that mean? How doyou separate the hype from what’s really happening?How do you harness what is possible?”PATRICK MEIER F12Photo credit: Jan Grarup/NOOR/ReduxInformation communication technology is changing the way we view the world—especiallyhow we view those places in crisis. In my research, I’m exploring how governments,activists, and revolutionaries employ new media and how it has transformed our abilityto map conflicts, respond to uprisings, and provide humanitarian response. Sure,Facebook and interactive media are being touted as the next big thing, but what doesthat mean? How do you separate the hype from what’s really happening? How do youharness what is possible?In 2010, while earning my PhD at The Fletcher School, I had the occasion to explorethese possibilities firsthand when a devastating earthquake hit Haiti. In the immediateaftermath, I put together a Ushahidi map to pinpoint the locations of those in need ofservices and available resources. With the help of more than one hundred Fletcher students,Tufts undergraduates, and other volunteers, we created what FEMA called “themost comprehensive and up-to-date map available to the humanitarian community.”The project fielded thousands of Tweets and SMS messages and saved hundreds of lives.The Haiti crisis map marked the beginning of what’s becoming an increasinglyimperative and exciting aspect of international relations. Just look at the repressiveregimes that have fallen recently—look at the impact that decentralized, distributed, andmobile technologies have had in those revolutions. As one Egyptian activist asserted:“We use Facebook to schedule our protests, Twitter to coordinate, and YouTube to tellthe world.”At the Qatar Foundation Computing Research Institute (QCRI) we are workingon the next generation of humanitarian technology solutions. I like to think of it as“Computing for Good”—backed by some serious resources.Patrick Meier is an internationally recognized leader on the application of new technologies for crisis early warning, humanitarian response, humanrights, and civil resistance. He is the Director of Social Innovation at the Qatar Foundation Computing Research Institute (QCRI) and was previouslyDirector of Crisis Mapping at Ushahidi. He holds a PhD from The Fletcher School, a Pre-Doctoral Fellowship from Stanford, and an MIA fromColumbia University. He was born in Abidjan and raised in Nairobi.(21)

“To make catastrophic terrorism a less attractivemeans of modern warfare, we needto work within and across national borders.”Stephen E. Flynn F 91Starting my studies at Fletcher was both an exhilarating and harrowing experience.One of my memorable courses was on crisis management. A few weeks into my firstsemester, my professor asked me to prepare an assessment of the 1965 U.S. militaryintervention into the Dominican Republic. Then he broke the news that left me in acold sweat: William Tapley Bennett, the U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republicduring the crisis, would visit our class the next week and had agreed to provide somefirsthand insights on my oral presentation. Fletcher opened up new vistas for me—Isaw real people making real decisions.What I learned at Fletcher has had a lasting effect on how I think and write aboutour post-9/11 world. Homeland security has become the focus of my work, but I startfrom the premise that we are trying to better secure systems that are linked to globalinfrastructures and the international community. A narrow focus on protecting theU.S. homeland makes as much sense as telling a computer security manager to installfirewalls only for the computers next to his desk.To make catastrophic terrorism a less attractive means of modern warfare, weneed to work within and across national borders and make our societal “immunesystem”—global civil society and the critical infrastructures that underpin our modernway of life—more resilient. Success at that enterprise will require the kind of leadersthat The Fletcher School produces.Stephen E. Flynn is the President of the Center for National Policy. Prior to being selected to lead the CNP, he was the Ira A. Lipman SeniorFellow for Counterterrorism and National Security Studies, Council on Foreign Relations. A 1982 graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy,Flynn served in the Coast Guard on active duty for twenty years, retiring at the rank of commander. He received the MALD and PhD degrees ininternational politics from The Fletcher School in 1990 and 1991. His book, America the Vulnerable (2004), was a critically acclaimed best-seller.His most recent book is The Edge of Disaster: Rebuilding a Resilient Nation (2007).(24)

“Policymakers should have at least arudimentary knowledge of international lawthemselves because they may not havea lawyer at their side when they need one.”Professor Michael J. GlennonThe most potentially catastrophic problem facing the world today is the proliferationof weapons of mass destruction. There is no close second.The world as we know it could be transformed overnight by the detonation ofa biological or nuclear device in a major city. How to keep the lid on these weaponsis the biggest unanswered question for international law. The problem is that yesterday’ssolutions are not necessarily applicable today, when interstate conflict is lesscommon but potentially even more calamitous.The Cold War era, particularly the Vietnam War, sparked my interest inpolitics, which in turn led to my interest in international law. The link betweentheory and practice became apparent to me during the Carter administration,when I served as legal counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Theexperience offered a glimpse beyond the public personas of the country’s elitelawmaking body. It gave me a sense of how essential it is in international law todistinguish between rules that are real and those that are make-believe. Behindclosed doors, senators are no-nonsense.Students need to have that same hard-headedness. I point out to them thatunderstanding the field of international law is a necessity. Policymakers should haveat least a rudimentary knowledge of international law themselves because they maynot have a lawyer at their side when they need one. International law cannot beunderstood without a broader interdisciplinary context and Fletcher’s curriculumoffers a distinct advantage in that regard.Michael J. Glennon, Professor of International Law, has published numerous articles on international law, terrorism, U.S. hegemony, and theuse of force in Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the International Herald Tribune, the Financial Times, the Woodrow WilsonQuarterly, and The Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.(27)

“This moment in time is historic. There’s a ‘youthquake’of young people who are shaking up theworld, being heard, and getting things done. Thepower of one person to communicate their ideas andeffect change is unprecedented.”Farah Pandith F95This is the first time in American history that our country has a Special Representativeto Muslim Communities, and I feel honored to serve in this way. It’s a job that requiresintense traveling, meeting with young people all over the world and hearing their ideas,concerns, and dreams, and connecting their ideas to others. It’s the best job in the world.This moment in time is historic. There’s a “youth-quake” of young people who areshaking up the world, being heard, and getting things done. The power of one person tocommunicate their ideas and effect change is unprecedented.Muslims represent one quarter of all the people in the world, and 62 percent ofthem are under age thirty. So, whether you are talking about economic policy, humanrights or international security, it is essential to include that 25 percent in the conversation,so we can work on issues of mutual interest together. Critically, we must engagewith mutual respect. The way we build partnerships through dialogue and understandingin a complex, diverse environment will make a difference in the short and long term.The Fletcher School is like a microcosm of that diverse, interconnected world; nearlyhalf the School’s students come from outside of the U.S., from more than eighty countries.It’s a place where you learn to see things from many perspectives. You are immersedin a community of people viewing the same issues but through different lenses.In my diplomatic work, when I mention my connection to The Fletcher School,there is an immediate understanding of what that means. It’s a legacy of producing theworld’s most current thinkers. It’s a legacy of moving the world forward with innovativeideas and solutions. Those individuals who take the skill sets that they learn at Fletcherand apply them to their passions will shape the future.Farah Pandith received her MALD from The Fletcher School in 1995 and serves on the Board of Advisors. She worked at the White House aspart of the National Security Council and was appointed as Special Representative to Muslim Communities by Secretary of State Hillary Clintonin 2009.(28)

PREPARING THE WORLD’S LEADERSc o n n e c t i n g y o u t oo u r c o m m u n i t yOUR STUDENTSThe most intellectually stimulating, personally rewarding, and professionallyprofitable connections you will make at Fletcher will be those you forge with yourclassmates. More than 40 percent of Fletcher’s student body comes from outsidethe U.S., representing more than eighty countries, and a quarter of those who areU.S. citizens are persons of color. Students come from professional backgroundsas varied as investment banking, public service, the military, and internationaldevelopment. The kaleidoscope of religious beliefs, political opinions, and personalexperiences our students bring to the classroom will help you see your culturethrough the eyes of another—an invaluable tool in any facet of international affairs.Fletcher’s many student organizations provide ample opportunity for academicand personal interaction outside the classroom. For example, through conferencesand workshops, as well as its annual Fiesta Latina cultural show, the Latinamerica Group provides a forum for students to critically analyze unique aspectsof Latin american politics, economics, and culture. Members of the InternationalBusiness Club bring guest speakers from the international business world toFletcher and organize networking and internship opportunities. The ralph BuncheSociety, named for the african-american diplomat and nobel peace prize-winner,encourages the interests and presence of people of color in careers in internationalaffairs. The Community action Group promotes volunteerism through communityservice projects, food and clothing drives, and the annual “Faculty and StaffWait on You” dinner. Fletcher’s a cappella group, the ambassachords, performsthroughout the year and sponsors an annual Spring Concert in conjunction withother area vocal groups to raise funds for a local charity.Jason gelbort ‘13united statesBA, Brown UniversityJD, Harvard Law School (dual degree)Fletcher is special because theacademic selection offeredallows you to cover a wide varietyof areas as well as dig deepinto those that interest you most.At Fletcher, I am glad to be ableto choose all of my classes thisyear.

Much of the thinking, debate, and discovery Fletcher students engage in findsits way into print. The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs, published twice a year, is theofficial foreign policy journal at The Fletcher School and explores issues of internationallaw, politics, diplomacy, business, and economics. Founded by students inthe early 1970s to provide a venue for student scholarship, the Forum soon beganattracting contributions from such luminaries as henry Kissinger and the lateDaniel patrick Moynihan, a Fletcher alumnus. The day-to-day exchange of ideasthat make up the intellectual and social life at Fletcher is chronicled online in theFletcher Ledger. another student publication, PRAXIS: The Fletcher School Journal ofDevelopmental Studies, is committed to the exchange of ideas and theories relatedto international development. recent issues have focused on the links betweentrade, law, and the environment. Fletcher’s Perspectives highlights student creativework, particularly travel writing and photography, and Fletcher’s online publication,Al Nakhlah, focuses on Southwest asia and Islamic civilization with articles andeditorials by Fletcher students and alumni.OUR ALUMNIFew things demonstrate the continued relevance, applicability, and importance ofa Fletcher education more than the wide-ranging success of our alumni. and fewthings demonstrate the exceptional vitality and cohesiveness of the Fletchercommunity more than the commitment of those alumni to the success of ourcurrent students. Fletcher graduates are uniquely positioned to shape the courseof international affairs through their careers as diplomats, civil servants, industryexecutives, military officers, journalists, scholars, lawyers, researchers, and consultants.That opportunity might not have been there were it not for the doors opened byFletcher alumni before them.
