AGS Hosts Professional Development Program for Vietnamese Government Delegation

vietnam_program_2018_tn.jpgFrom September 10-21, the American Graduate School in Paris is hosting a governmental delegation from Vietnam for a professional development program entitled “Justice and Ethics in Financial Oversight: the French Experience.” A group of twenty senior officials from the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice travelled to Paris as part of a long-term initiative to send civil servants around the world to learn best practices in Western public administration so as to apply this knowledge in the reform of Vietnam's socio-political and economic systems.

AGS collaborated with specialists of Asian educational exchanges Dr Maire O'Brien and Peter Nguyen from the Institute of Executive Training to tailor a dedicated two-week program with the expertise of its professors and local connections. The program includes seminars about various aspects of the French political and legal systems, taught by AGS professors Douglas Yates and Patrick Clairzier with the contribution of external scholars and practitioners, as well as site visits to Paris-based institutions such as the National Financial Services Tribunal (Parquet National Financier) and the International Court of Arbitration.

"Sharing knowledge with delegates from the Vietnamese government about public governance is not only an opportunity for the American Graduate School in Paris to provide educational resources on topics related to international relations," says AGS Director Professor Larry Kilman, "it also allows us actually take part in international and transnational relations and fulfill our mission of fostering dialogue between cultures.”
