This course included sessions in Geneva, Switzerland.
Prof. Felice has consistently offered the course, “Geneva and International Organization.” This program provided students with a unique opportunity to examine the work of the affiliated agencies of the United Nations (UN) and the international community in Geneva, Switzerland.
The course focused on three key themes: economic globalization, ecological balance, and human rights. Students examined the degree to which the global community has been able to cooperate and achieve positive results in these three issue areas. The students engaged leading international civil servants working in these foremost international organizations on these critical issues and the grave challenges facing the global community. Potential solutions to some of the most pressing issues confronting humanity—from violent human rights abuses to global environmental degradation—were discussed in Geneva. Students were able to confront these issues directly and analyze the success and/or failure of global functional cooperation through international organization.
