Dear Friends, 1. August 2006 The Institute for Social and European Studies (ISES) would like to inform you about the Master programme in International Relations and European Studies at the European University Institute in Koszeg, Hungary. www.european-studies.hu The Institute for Social and European Studies (ISES) in collaboration with Budapest Corvinus University (the degree issuing institution) is providing students with the opportunity to obtain theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of international relations, problems of small states in Europe, the Balkans, international economics, regional integration and development, political science, European culture and sociology. Koszeg is a special place to get deeply involved in International and European Studies. The unique intellectual atmosphere of the town provides you the possibility to study in an inspiring environment. Different thoughts and experiences are the results of the atmosphere, which cannot be found anywhere else and is created by three main factors: 1. the unique political history of the region, 2. Koszeg is an ideal place to get an inside look at the effects of globalization and 3. the effects of the EU in a country that joined recently. Why study International and European Studies? - You will gain useful knowledge about the EU and Central-Eastern Europe in the context of economic and cultural integration, what can be useful for decision-making, policies and programs at the national and EU level. - A large part of the development cooperation budget of EU member states is channelled through the EU's various development programs in which there is a need for decision-makers with integrative development skills. - The EU affects prospects for development through regional and global development, access to its own markets and through the impact of its policies. - The EU is spending the largest amount on regional development in the world. - Major changes in global economic and political systems are occurring since the fall of the Soviet Union. Managers and planners of local development need the skills to consider global changes as well as local continuities. We find that changing economies prompt changes in social services and local development initiatives and so there is the need to acquire the skills necessary to play a key part in these developments. - There is heightened national and international interest in and concern with international and local issues. This results in a need for people who can make decisions by knowing the international processes and adopt them to national level. - In recent years, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors have increasingly worked to influence development debates and to share information about their policies and activities; through websites, publications, video and inter-active multi-media. Non-governmental organizations have also become more sophisticated in using a range of media and communication strategies to lobby governments and multilateral bodies, to inform supporters and to build alliances and networks. As a result the demand for staff with skills in International and European Studies and an understanding of international development issues has opened up a range of career opportunities for graduates of this program. Job opportunites include: - research positions - policy positions: preparing and coordinating policy, advising and planning in local and international development cooperation; - implementing functions: local project managers and staff; - Public Relations positions relating to cultural and economical development issues. This programme should be of special interest to the following: Economics, political and social science graduates, especially those who wish to specialize in the field of Central-Eastern European issues in theory and practice. It is intended for people who are making, or who have the potential to make, a significant contribution to the non-governmental sector in the developing world as analysts, policy-makers, researchers or practitioners. Those with work experience in the developing world, wishing to expand their knowledge of the role of the EU in international, regional and national issues. Government officials and non-governmental practitioners interested in working in the EU on regional and cultural development cooperation issues. State officials and non-governmental practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of debates surrounding the role of the EU in a global context. The Institute for Social and European Studies offers a variety of programmes and services during the academic year, which will make your stay in Hungary a rewarding and enriching experience.
