Projects
Human Rights, Justice & Democracy Project
The Human Rights, Justice & Democracy in Latin America project, an initiative funded by the Open Society Institute, will organize a conference series on the trial of former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori and other human rights trials in Latin America. The conference series is a collaborative initiative of the Center for Global Studies at GMU; the Legal Defense Institute (IDL), a human rights organization based in Lima, Peru; and the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), an advocacy group based in Washington, D.C. The project is under the direction of PIA faculty member Dr. Jo-Marie Burt.
Global Migration & Transnational Politics Project
The Global Migration & Transnational Politics project at CGS is a MacArthur Foundation funded project that investigates how political dynamics around the globe have been transformed by new patterns of human mobility and the development of innovative transnational social networks. Over the next two years this project will sponsor a series of research workshops, working papers, conferences, and result in an edited volume organized around shared questions and an overarching argument.
Globalization Dialogues
The Globalization Dialogues project aims to enrich and diversify the discussion on globalization issues among policymakers and the public by replacing zero-sum framings with an integrated and collaborative dialogue among intellectuals, activists, and policymakers.
