Master in Global Affairs
Program Overview
The Master in Global Affairs is a course-based program that is designed to develop the knowledge, insights, and talents needed to help address and solve some of the most critical challenges facing our world.
Students will apply and register at the University of Prince Edward Island for the first four months of study, taking the courses listed below. Students will then transfer to URJC's Madrid and Strasbourg campuses where they will take the remaining required courses for graduation.
Comparative Human Rights of the Americas
This course seeks to examine the evolution of a human rights system in the western hemisphere over the course of the immigrant explosion that has occurred over the past 530 years. Over time, hemispheric human rights arrangements have emerged which share similarities and differences at both the regional and national level. Through historical analysis, this course will endeavour to shed considerable light on the origins, development, promotion, and protection of human rights in the Americas.
Comparative Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples of the Americas
This course is designed to introduce the student to the study of Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples in the Americas (north, central, and south). The course looks at the different systems of colonization and how they have affected cultures and peoples to the present day. It begins by exploring the development of the conventional understanding of Universal Human Rights and then moves to study the major concepts in Indigenous Human Rights including OIT article 169 and the 2007 UN declaration. Topics include land ownership; access to education in original languages; control of natural resources; sustainable environments; treaties, ejidos, encomiendas, and reservations.
Globalization and International Organizations: Economic, Legal, and Policy Challenges
This course examines the relationship and interplay between globalization and national interests, as reflected in national economic policies. Topics include theories of international political economy in relation to foreign aid and international development and international trade, as well as the roles played by international organizations and non-state actors, such as NGOs that focus on foreign aid and development.
Food, Health, and Human Security
This course examines local, national, and international issues related to food, health and food security. Topics include the production and distribution of food resources in a global economy; social, political and economic factors impacting health and human security, health implications of human and animal diseases; and epidemiological approaches to identify threats and interventions to maintain a healthy food system.
International Climate Change Diplomacy
Most countries are signatories to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and subsequent protocols and accords that govern climate change management in their respective country. This course provides an historical and analytical view for understanding international climate change relations, identifies the main actors and their roles, and presents the core theories and facts about international climate change governance. Using lectures, seminars, videos, guest speakers, case studies, team projects and role-playing exercises, this course provides the opportunity for students to develop knowledge and skills in the international climate change agreement process of negotiation, the actors involved in the agreements, the terminology of agreements, the "guts" of a general agreement, ratification of agreements, responsibilities of signatory nations, and the effectiveness of agreements. Students will even role-play as various countries to negotiate their own climate change agreement.
