We have developed this unique programme to address a major unfilled need: training professionals to pursue careers in the increasingly interconnected fields of international governmental and nongovernmental organizations and companies that work with these institutions. With multilateral institutions playing new and growing roles in addressing international economic, security, environmental, and social issues, managers must increasingly be able to use business management knowledge and skills appropriate to the distinctive setting of these institutions. To ensure that the Geneva IOMBA fulfils the expectations of both participants and prospective employers, we have worked intensively with internationally renowned scholars, top officials from international and nongovernmental organizations, business executives, and MBA students to design a rich, multidisciplinary curriculum that explores the core issues facing practitioners in these various communities. The result is a distinctive programme based on three key pillars: (1) theoretical and applied skills appropriate to the global and social context within which international and nongovernmental organizations operate; (2) advanced management training; and (3) ongoing engagement with international and nongovernmental organizations. Taught fully in English by University of Geneva professors, international officials, and an international faculty from leading universities around the world, the IOMBA exposes students to the latest theoretical and applied knowledge about international politics, economics, sociology, and law. Participants develop management skills grounded in finance, organizational behavior, interpersonal and negotiation skills, project management, and strategy. Through ongoing engagement with international and nongovernmental organizations, and a formal internship as a culmination of the programme, prospective managers are given the opportunity to directly apply these skills in relevant professional settings. Geneva - the global centre of international and nongovernmental organizations and an international business hub in the heart of Europe - provides an ideal setting for the IOMBA. The University of Geneva, founded in 1559, has a long tradition of training both academics and practitioners, and students who complete this programme become part of a distinguished group of well- placed alumni throughout the world. IOMBA students come from all corners of the globe, bringing a set of skills that enhances the learning experience of their peers and helps to create a highly talented network that alumni can rely on as their careers progress. This brochure describes in detail what it is like to pursue a Geneva IOMBA. If you have ad- ditional questions, please email or write to us. We believe that this unique programme will meet your interest in advancing your career in international organizations, nongovern- mental organizations, and international busi- ness.

The aim of the workshops and seminars is to prepare IOMBA participants for careers in the international sector, as well as to expose them to a wide range of organizations. Furthermore, participants will have a chance to sample a number of different organizational cultures, which will help inform their career choice once they graduate. The career services workshops will also pave the way for the formal three-month internship or consultancy project that con- stitutes the second integral part of the International Organiza- tions MBA. With the exposure and skills acquired during the first two semesters, participants will be poised to immediately make a valuable contribution from day one. This will enable them to benefit fully from their on-site opportunity to apply the concepts, skills and tools acquired during the first ten months The IOMBA class attends an Association for Human Resources Mana- gement in International Organizations (AHRMIO) function at the United of the programme.

  • Rede Von Christian Levrat Als
    Delegiertenversammlung SP Schweiz Fribourg , 29. Juni 2013 Stolz auf unsere Geschichte Referat von Christian Levrat, Ständerat FR, Präsident der SP Schweiz Es gilt das gesprochene Wort. Liebe Genossinnen und Genossen, Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, Dieses Jahr begehen wir den 125. Jahrestag der Gründung der SP Schweiz. Dieses Jubiläum werden wir gebührend feiern. Denn wir sind stolz auf unsere Gründerväter - stolz darauf, die Erben einer politischen Bewegung zu sein, welche 125 Jahre lang stets für Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit eingetreten ist. Die SP Schweiz hat für dieses Land viel erkämpft: vom Frauenstimmrecht bis zur AHV, vom Service Public bis zu Wohnbaugenossenschaften, von einer erstklassigen Primarschule bis zur Berufslehre zu den Forschungszentren der ETH. «Zwei Mal musste ich meinen Parteiausweis vergraben» Vor kurzem war ich an der 150-Jahr-Feier der SPD in Deutschland – der einzigen deutschen Partei, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten nie ihren Namen wechseln musste. Alle grossen Persönlichkeiten der europäischen Sozialdemokratie waren nach Leipzig gekommen: von François Hollande bis Enrico Letta, von Boris Tadic bis Ed Milliband, von Martin Schulz bis Harlem Désir. Sie alle wissen, was unsere Bewegung der deutschen Sozialdemokratie verdankt. Selbstverständlich waren auch alle wichtigen SPD-Funktionäre von heute und früher anwesend: Peer Steinbrück ebenso wie Sigmar Gabriel, Gerhard Schröder, Helmut Schmidt, Kurt Beck und viele andere. Doch es war nicht ihre Anwesenheit, die mich tief berührt hat, sondern drei ältere Genossen, die in der vordersten Reihe sassen und geehrt wurden, weil sie seit über 80 Jahren Mitglied der SPD sind. Zwei Mal mussten sie ihren SPD- Parteiausweis vergraben, um ihr Leben zu retten: Zuerst 1933, um vor den Nazis zu fliehen und dann nochmals 1945, um der sowjetischen Gefangenschaft zu entgehen.

  • APEC Policy Brief
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, November 9, 2006 Press contact: Neeley Main, Senior Program and Outreach Coordinator, Shorenstein APARC [email protected] or 1-650-723-8387. Pan-Asian regionalism remains a long-term aspiration rather than a short- term prospect, but that having been said, that was true of Europe fifty years ago. – Michael Armacost, Shorenstein Distinguished Fellow On November 2 Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, in association with University of California at Berkeley’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Study Center, convened regional and economic experts to discuss the role of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group and its relationship to the future of regionalism and regional integration in East Asia. The meeting was timely, as APEC’s annual week of high-level meetings begins on November 12th in Hanoi, Vietnam. It will culminate in a summit of heads of state (and a representative from Taiwan) on November 18-19—a key opportunity for President Bush to talk with regional leaders about a range of issues, including North Korea. In examining APEC’s agenda and its potential institutional challengers, scholars focused on how the US might get more out of the forum and how the US could alter its approach to Asian regionalism to ensure continued relevance and influence in the region. According to Dr. Donald Emmerson, director of the Southeast Asia Forum and senior fellow at Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), “Asian regionalism is at a crossroads, and it

Aggarwal, Travers Family Senior Faculty Fellow and Professor of Political Science & Director of the Berkeley APEC Study Center (BASC) at the University of California, Berkeley S-China Rivalry: Implications for East Asia UBy Japan SPOTLIGHT With an apparent decline in US leadership and an increase in political rivalry between China and the United States in Asia, East Asian nations are expected to play new roles as they face more volatility in the region, both economically and politically. Japan SPOTLIGHT interviewed Dr. Vinod Aggarwal, Travers Family senior faculty fellow and professor of political science, and director of the Berkeley APEC Study Center at the University of California, Berkeley, to discuss how political-structural issues in the US could make the East Asian political economy more volatile and complex. Is there room for optimism about the future roles of East Asian nations in global governance and how can they use their soft power for economic cooperation? (Interviewed on Oct. 15, 2018) Declining US Leadership someone like Donald Trump has emerged. As a consequence, I think JS: The US seems to find it populism will last on and off for a difficult to play a leading role decade – but not forever. I don’t see in global governance today, that the political problem will be due to its economic structural resolved very easily and we might see problems. How do you some alternation between an outward- assess this decline in US looking US and an inward-looking US, leadership in global which of course is not very good governance? Is it temporary because it does not provide stability or structural? for the US in its engagement with international institutions.
