Join the Model AU and get course credit! Register for POLI 266 in Express I of Spring 2013

What is the Model AU?  It is a simulation of the proceedings of the African Union.  It gives students a chance to study and experience the role, structure, and activities of the AU in the search for solutions to key economic, social, and political-security issues facing Africa.  Students will come away with a better understanding of how African domestic politics intersects with its foreign policies, and the patterns of conflict and cooperation in Africa’s international relations.  Students will also have a chance to meet with African diplomats at their embassies in Washington, D.C.

The Model AU will take place from February 21-24 (which really means being away Feb 20-24) at Howard University in Washington, D.C.  This year, CofC will be representing North Sudan and Burundi.
