Dr. Douglas Yates will participate in the 21st World Congress of the International Political Science Association in Santiago de Chile, July 12-16 2009. He will present a paper entitled "Enhancing Governance in Africa's Oil Sector", which compares all of the oil-dependent countries in Africa with the effort of the international community (NGOs, IGOs) to promote transparency and fight corruption in those countries. Dr. Yates evaluates how successful those efforts have been. His paper will be published as a chapter in a forthcoming book edited by Kenneth Omeje (summer 2009). 50 national political science associations and 3,000 individual members are expected to atend this conference which marks the 60th anniversary of the International Political Science Association (IPSA). |

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
