Starting in the year 2003, the GSIR drastically reformed its programs to meet changing needs of IR education. A key concept was obviously globalization. One of the new programs developed was the Global Cooperation Program (GCP). Fully taught in English, the GCP focuses on market and non-market approaches in working with post-Cold War North-South problems, providing a broad interdisciplinary perspective for international cooperation in the areas of Macro, Micro, and Development Economic theory. The following areas are examined: |
-
Major actors in the area of international development, such as international organizations, donor & recipient governments, multinational corporations and NGOs
-
Broader international contexts through examining the history of global governance and North-South relations
-
Resolving security problems as an indispensable precondition for development
-
Other closely related issues such as gender, social development and the preservation of the environment
-

The GCP enables students to participate in discussions with fellow students
from all over the world, allowing them to deepen their international understanding
on a daily basis. It also seeks to promote networking while training young
leaders who will lead the world stage in the field of global cooperation. |
