Professor Joav Toker gave a paper on "Government and Media in Extreme Crisis Situations" at Sciences-Po (Institut d'Etudes Politiques) in Paris on April 17. His paper examined both government and media institutions in situations of extreme tension, such as natural catastrophies or terrorist attacks. Professor Toker looked at the way both of those types of power react under exceptional circumstances: what is the mechanism of change and the correlation betweeen both of them. The audience was composed of students and faculty in the disciplines of international relations, political science, media studies and journalism. |

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
