January Term Courses
IAU's January Term Seminars offer students the opportunity to enroll in one course for three credits.
Human Rights 355: Diplomacy & Human Rights in the Mediterranean
International Relations 355: Diplomacy & Human Rights in the Mediterranean
Political Science 355: Diplomacy & Human Rights in the Mediterranean
Diplomacy is about balancing multiple, sometimes competing, priorities. How can the US promote human rights in North Africa while also fighting terrorism? How does the US elicit cooperation from NATO allies while also getting them to pay their fair share? This study tour surveys how US diplomats balance multiple goals and foreign policy challenges while working with partners from other governments, international organizations, and civil society in Europe and North Africa. The Mediterranean region is one where the most pressing foreign policy challenges of the day converge, from migration to counterterrorism and climate change to great power competition with China and Russia. This course will introduce students to the tools the US uses to address these challenges, from public diplomacy to military partnerships.
