" I congratulate all three authors for their achievement. It acknowledges the practical relevance of the work done by AGS students and should serve as an example for others to follow the same path. Such a publication not only provides personal satisfaction to the authors for participating in a global discourse and an incentive for them to intensify their studies, it also serves as a stepping stone for their professional aspirations." The Journal of Political Studies is an Edinburgh-based open publication focusing on political systems, government policies, and international politics. It is affiliated with the University of Edinburgh's Buchanian Institute, Scotland's only student-led think tank and a member of the CampusPolicy international network of student think tanks. Cherine Smith (MA, Class of 2013) published her article on "The Future of Network Diplomacy in Global Governance: On Diplomatic Culture and Small States", which was based on a paper that she had written for Prof. Bolewski's class on Diplomacy and International Law: Read article Anna Busa (Ph.D. candidate) authored an article on the topic "How to Achieve a Lasting Culture of Peace: Considering Citizenship and Nationality Dimensions": Read article Manuel Navarro (M.A. Candidate, Class of 2015) published an Op-Ed entitled "Basketball Diplomacy Rebound: Rodman's Basketball Diplomacy in North Korea and a Practical Guide to Future Success": Read article As a reflection of the international profile of the AGS student body, the three young authors represent three different national origins: Cherine is from Barbados, Ana is from Latvia, and Manuel from the US.

The latest issue of the Journal of Political Studies (November 2014) features no less than three articles authored by AGS students or recent graduates. This bumper crop was performed thanks to the support of AGS professor, Ambassador Wilfried Bolewski, who strongly encourages student research through his teaching as well as by sharing calls for proposals and such opportunities.

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..
