Dr. Douglas Yates will participate in the 21st World Congress of the International Political Science Association in Santiago de Chile, July 12-16 2009. He will present a paper entitled "Enhancing Governance in Africa's Oil Sector", which compares all of the oil-dependent countries in Africa with the effort of the international community (NGOs, IGOs) to promote transparency and fight corruption in those countries. Dr. Yates evaluates how successful those efforts have been. His paper will be published as a chapter in a forthcoming book edited by Kenneth Omeje (summer 2009). 50 national political science associations and 3,000 individual members are expected to atend this conference which marks the 60th anniversary of the International Political Science Association (IPSA). |

Moving to Paris has taken a top rank amongst the most challenging things I have experienced in life so far. AGS – the classes, my colleagues, and the school staff – provided for me a sanity that I had lost! This program is phenomenal and is giving me opportunities to do some really cool things, such as being invited to intern for a summer at a school/community outreach program in Tanzania.
