(South Africa, Durban) SIT Durban: International Relations in the Global South

Through SIT Durban, you'll learn non-western perspectives in the fields of South-South and international relations and to examine broad policy questions in sub-Saharan Africa through the lenses of youth employment, conflict, and poverty. An introduction to South African politics sets the groundwork for the program's focus on international relations and foreign policy, providing an opportunity for you to engage in major contemporary debates surrounding international affairs in the Global South. The program also captures the evolving contours of the relationship between the Global South and the Global North. Through a fixed curriculum, you'll examine the African Union and other continental influencers, including international organizations and non-state actors, and will look at how BRICS has emerged as an alternative power block on the global political stage.
