The Changing World Order Initiative examines geopolitical and economic developments taking place in developing regions of the world such as Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. These encompass issues such as trade relations, the rise of populism, and global production patterns, among others, that are shaping a changing world order.
The Science, Technology, and Public Policy Initiative tackles the economic, political, and social consequences of advances in science and technology. Topics of interest range from the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence to the impact of technology diffusion and cyber networks upon labor markets and global competition.
Lampert Scholars Program
The highly selective Lampert Scholars program is aimed at rising seniors (current juniors) who have demonstrated strong academic records and serious interest in issues related to the institute’s areas of inquiry. The Scholars, who are chosen in the junior year, will participate in a program of academic and professional experiences that begin in the summer between the junior and senior year and continue throughout the senior year.
