On the Elliott School Commencement Celebration in May, there are more than 900 students in the Elliott School community.
Quote from the Dean, Mr. Michael E. Brown, June 2010
Our students have dedicated themselves to learning about, thinking about, and caring about people from around the world. Our faculty members inspire and educate the next generation of international leaders, and they develop new insights into and policy responses for complex global challenges. Our alumni — who now number more than 17,000 — have influential positions in the private, public, and non-profit sectors across the United States and around the world. Through the Elliott School’s new Web Video Initiative we are able to share many of our special events with alumni and the interested public around the world, bringing these illuminating discussions to a larger audience than ever before.

The recent economic crisis in Greece has sparked response by Elliott School of International Affairs professor Scheherazade Rehman in a recent debate on PBS, a U.S TV Channel.
In the debate , she posited that because many of the countries in the Eurozone share the same currency (the Euro) , if Greece’s economy collapses completely it will drag down the economic recoveries of many of the other countries in Europe, perhaps even jeopardising the global recovery. Rehman used the analogy of a domino to describe the possible effects of Greece sliding into economic oblivion , that as a member of a single-market economic entity (The EU) Greece’s fate is interrelated with the fates of many others on the continent and if it falls, it is likely that others will too.

The Elliott School Of International Affairs , situated within the George Washington University in the U.S , has a long and established track record in initiating and contributing effectively towards debate on a wide variety of subjects. Most recently however , Professor Barbara D. Miller of the Elliott School delivered a damning indictment on U.S policy in Haiti and how it and other mitigating factors contributed towards Haiti’s current situation as incredibly poor and HIV/AIDS capital of the region.
Miller states that the continued colonialist approach taken to occupation of the island, the massive deforestation that successive regimes funded by the superpower du jour have inflicted on Haiti and the continued support by the U.S towards conservative political regimes in Haiti Read the rest of this entry »

With an established reputation in the study of international affairs, the Elliott School of International Affairs and its faculty of staff are well qualified to make judgements on the actions of the politicians that the School’s students study so closely.

Susan Aaronson, professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs entered the debate surrounding China’s attempted censorship of the results generated by Google , the most popular Internet search site in almost every country except China.
For years acquiescing to China’s demands that they censor the results that the search engine generates (blank pages appear whenever the user searches for something untoward) , citing that the Communist regime is merely trying to root out things like pornography and sexual exploitation through blocking the access , Google has finally decided to withdraw their agreement to censor their pages, due to a justification based on defending the rights of the common citizen to browse for and download what they wish and combating the alleged protectionist strategy that the Chinese government is using in its Web-based market.
