This course is limited to students participating in the Scholars in the Nation's Service Initiative (SINSI), the Richard H. Ullman Fellowship, or an approved MPA middle year out. Enrolled students participate in one or more internships with a federal, state, or local government agency, non-governmental organization, or multilateral institution in the U.S. or overseas. The purpose is to provide a learning environment for students to use/develop quantitative and qualitative analytical skills in an active public policy setting, with oversight from Princeton University faculty and staff.

In the second half of 2011, the crisis in the Eurozone threatened to run out of control. This course discusses four themes: 1) the critiques of the concept of the Eurozone prior to January 1999; 2) why the Eurozone appeared a major success at its 10th anniversary, which coincided with the beginning of the global economic crisis; 3) the interconnected nature of the crisis, weak sovereigns, weak banks, and weak growth prospects; and 4) the domestic and multilateral measures to deal with the crisis. The course also considers the future of the Eurozone.

This course provides the intellectual foundations for policy students to understand race, power, and inequality issues in the United States, with some comparative international perspectives. We examine these and other issues of identity and inequities through various disciplines, including history, politics, psychology, sociology, economics, and natural sciences. We hope to highlight some possible solutions to the persistent problems of inequality and racial injustice in the U.S. and abroad.
