Master s Thesis in International Affai

This seminar supports the writing and revision of the MIA policy thesis. Building on the Fall Preparatory Seminar, students will conduct in-depth research, develop their arguments, and produce a polished, 30-page thesis that examines a pressing international policy challenge. The thesis must include historical and contextual background, policy analysis, and a reasoned recommendation for reform, continuation, or change. Students will meet individually with the instructor throughout the semester and present a brief oral defense of their findings. A mid-semester draft and final submission are required.
