ABOUTOverview
AIPE 2009 Dates:
Experience Hong Kong this summer in a unique educational environment
with university students from Asia and the United States.
The Asia Institute for Political Economy (AIPE) is an
academic program designed to promote discussions of political
economy with other young leaders. Analyze and debate issues
of economics, global trade and economic developments with
a group of outstanding students, well-known professors,
and notable guest lecturers.
The Institute's interdisciplinary curriculum engages students
in a thorough examination of the fundamental concepts
and theories of Political Economy, as well as an advanced
course in American Studies. Guest lectures and panel discussions
featuring professors from the University of Hong Kong,
as well as other regional experts and business leaders,
supplement lectures and discussions by the regular program
faculty. These sessions enable students to apply the concepts
of international political economy covered during the
course to current issues in their own countries.
For three weeks, students will attend classes, interact
with prominent speakers, and attend special events to
engage students in an educational, cultural, and social
exchange. This combination of activities leads to an
exploration of challenging ideas and life-long friendships
that cannot be gained elsewhere.
