Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy - Tufts University

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, crossdisciplinaryapproach 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.

The flexibilityof our curriculum allows students to tailor their educationto their particular interests in the international arena andencourages them to explore those interests from new perspectives.

Fletcher’s community connects students to an academic, professional,and social network that lasts a lifetime. Our professorsand alumni are active players on the global stage and are readyand willing to share their experience and contacts in the public,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.

PREPARING THE WORLD’S LEADERSc o n n e c t i n g y o u r i n t e r e s t sa n d e d u c a t i o nA Fletcher education is designed to be as flexible as it is rigorous.

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 International Political Economy Katrina Burgess earned her PhD from Princeton University and holds degrees fromSwarthmore College and the University of Southern California. She is the author of Parties and Unions in the New Global Economy and an upcomingbook on collective 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)

“Though we deal with topical issues, we also deal withthe historical background of those issues, alongwith conceptual ideas and analytical frameworksto understand what’s happening on the ground.”Professor Vali Nasr F84I was always interested in a career in teaching and research. It’s a natural life for a mindinclined to share with others what it finds, and what it knows. I enjoy the transfer ofknowledge, the ability to impart to the next generation the analytical and descriptiveaspects of what I have found, and to help students pursue knowledge in whatever walkof life that they choose.At Fletcher, the courses I teach focus on political Islam and, regionally, on theMiddle East and South Asia, particularly Pakistan and Iran. I’m interested in the ideologicaldebates surrounding political Islam, the way in which it has grown historically, andhow it postures vis-à-vis governments and the international community.My courses are cast in a way that enables students to gain conceptual and theoreticalgrounding on issues pertinent to foreign policy-making and to the analysis ofimportant global issues. Though we deal with topical issues, we also deal with thehistorical background of those issues, along with conceptual ideas and analyticalframeworks to understand what’s happening on the ground. I strive to have Fletcherstudents leave my classes with a deep conceptual understanding of factors, drivers, anddynamics. I steer my classes in a way so that students emerge as better thinkers, betteranalysts, better theoreticians, and better writers.Many academic institutions in the United States focus purely on scholarship andhave little regard for how that scholarship gets translated into policy-making. Fletcherhas the unique quality of bringing together academic excellence with concern for practice.The students are extremely diverse in terms of where they come from, what theyhave done in their lives, and their interests. It is enriching to have that kind of cultural,educational, and professional diversity in the student body. The energy that they bringis intellectually stimulating to me.Vali Nasr, Professor of International Politics, is one of the world’s leading experts on political Islam and Middle East politics. From 2009 – 2011 heserved as Senior Advisor to the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, U.S. State Department. He is the author of The Shia Revival:How Conflicts Within Islam Will Shape the Future (2006). Born in Iran, Nasr moved with his family to the United States during the Iranian Revolution.He is a graduate of Tufts University, The Fletcher School, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.(21)

“To make catastrophic terrorism a less attractivemeans of modern warfare, we needto work within and across national borders.”Stephen E. Flynn PhD 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,Dr. Flynn served in the Coast Guard on active duty for 20 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)

“Whatever the UN’s shortcomings,no other body can match the experience, expertise,and legitimacy the UN is able to muster.”Shashi Tharoor PhD F 78I began my career with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva in 1978,and in 1981 was sent out to head UNHCR’s office in Singapore during the peak of theVietnamese boat-people crisis. It was my job to get the refugees into camps, negotiatetheir acceptance by other countries for resettlement, and get them off to new lives. Itwas amazingly fulfilling to know that I had made a concrete difference to real humanbeings—not figures on a piece of paper, but people I could actually see around me.After 11 years with UNHCR, I moved over to the UN’s Department ofPeacekeeping and eventually led the team handling the UN’s peacekeeping effortsin the former Yugoslavia. The norms of peacekeeping were being shaped through theprocess of coping with challenges as they emerged, so we made a lot up as we wentalong. It was exhilarating in a certain way, and exhausting and frustrating in others.But it was satisfying to know that, during that great human cataclysm, I was a smallcog in a very big machine trying to prevent, or at least mitigate, that cataclysm.In my former role as under-secretary-general for communications and publicinformation, my job was to promote the understanding of and support for the UN’srole in development, the environment, public health—a whole range of issues andinitiatives. And whatever the organization’s shortcomings, when it comes to dealingwith these kinds of transnational issues, no other body can match the experience,expertise, and legitimacy the UN is able to muster.So as you can see, my career has required me to know a little bit about everything.The breadth and rigor of my class work at Fletcher has served me very well.Shashi Tharoor PhD ’78 is a member of the Indian Parliament and the former Indian Minister of State for External Affairs. From June 2002to February 2007 he served as the UN Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information. In addition, Shashi Tharoor isthe author of eleven award-winning books, as well as numerous articles, poems, short stories, and commentaries in such Indian and Westernpublications as The Weekly Hindu, Newsweek International, and the International Herald Tribune.(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 80 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. They are eager to provide the same opportunityto the Fletcher graduates who follow.Fletcher alumni in government and international organizations have included:• under-secretary-general forcommunications and publicinformation at the UN• special advisor to the secretarygeneralof the UN• prime ministers of Greece and Libya• foreign minister and deputy primeminister of Thailand• U.S. career ambassadors• foreign ministers of Armenia,Indonesia, Nigeria, France andArgentina• finance minister of Liberia• commander, United States SouthernCommand(33)

Its unique location provides the best of both worldswith the friendliness and tranquility of a classic college town and the urban influenceof nearby Boston. A short walk in one direction, Somerville’s Davis Squareoffers everything from groceries and bookstores to clubs, cafes, and restaurants.Less than a mile away in the opposite direction are the hiking, biking, and crosscountrypaths of the 2,000-acre Middlesex Fells nature reservation.The city of Boston is a spectacular Fletcher resource. From FidelityInvestments to Oxfam America to more than 35 consular offices, Boston offers awealth of professional opportunities. Many of the world’s leading private, public,and nonprofit organizations maintain their headquarters in Boston, providingFletcher students with invaluable resources to find internships and employmentand to establish networks of professional contacts.(34)

the fletcher distinctionActive and EngagedThe Fletcher School is recognized around theworld as an institution that prepares leaders. Themoment I discovered the MIB, I knew I had foundthe best program to meet my interests of socialresponsibility and business. Through the MIB, I canwork on business fundamentals and also explorethe many disciplines within the world of internationalaffairs. All this gives me access to a broadrange of career opportunities and allows me toplay a more active role in Africa’s development.Violet Midzi ‘12ZimbabweBBusSc, University of Cape Town

connecting you to our communityMuch like Fletcher’s own community, Boston is thoroughly multicultural. Secondonly to New York as an eastern port of entry to the United States, Boston is hometo many vibrant communities—some new, others with deep roots in the city.An intellectual hub known as the “Athens of America,” Boston is home to morethan 60 distinguished colleges and universities, and boasts the largest concentrationof international students in the world, providing an unparalleled environmentfor study and research.Recreational activities are abundant in Boston. On a given day, you couldwalk Boston’s historic Freedom Trail or the Black Heritage Trail; tour Boston’sharbor islands by boat; attend a Boston Symphony Orchestra concert; take in aBoston Red Sox game; see the street performers at Faneuil Hall; shop the boutiqueson Newbury Street; jog along the Charles River; or stroll the galleries of theMuseum of Fine Arts. You’ll have just as many choices in the evening. There arehundreds of fabulous restaurants to try, from waterside seafood joints to upscaleFrench fusion bistros. After dinner, take in a movie, catch some theatre, see somedance, or track Boston’s alternative music scene.Those wishing to stray a little farther afield will find themselves wellwithin striking distance of the skiing, hiking, and fishing of Vermont and NewHampshire and the magnificent beaches and coastline of Massachusetts.Career ServicesEach year Fletcher students accept challenging positions in the public, private,and nonprofit sectors, as well as with international organizations, that allow themto participate in events and decisions that shape our world. The Office of CareerServices (OCS) supports students by providing skills and information to fueltheir career exploration and job search. In the fall semester, OCS presents an indepthProfessional Development Program (PDP) to ensure students understandhow to maximize their opportunities with employers around the globe. The PDPfocuses on teaching students to market themselves effectively to a diverse range ofemployers who each value different and distinctive attributes in candidates theySebastian Molano ‘12ColombiaBA, Finance and International Relations,Universidad Externado de ColombiaI wasn’t sure what to think aboutthe comments made aroundthe “Fletcher community.”I suspected it was a clearstrategy to market the program;however, it is true and quiteimpressive.
