MISSION OF THE PUBLIC POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
Our mission is to equip future leaders with the conceptual framework and the specific skills
needed to be effective and innovative policy makers and administrators in various spheres of
governance within governmental, regional, international and multinational institutions
through structural course work, internship and research addressing public policy and
administration issues in the region.
In support of this mission the department:
 Provides a high quality contemporary-style public policy and administration education
that blends a global perspective with national cultures and is relevant to the public policy
and administration needs of Egypt and the region.
 Provides programs that encourage the development of a community service spirit that
emphasizes integrity, action orientation, objectivity, broad mindedness and teamwork
 Provides a learning environment that fosters faculty/student communication and promotes
lifelong learning and career development
 Encourages faculty development activities that improve teaching, maintain competence
and that keep faculty current with ideas and concepts in their field.
 Seeks to develop a portfolio of intellectual contributions to learning and pedagogy, to
practice, and to the theory and knowledge base of the disciplines.
 Encourages the establishment of close partnerships with the public policy and
administration community through consultancies and service that enhance the intellectual
and economic quality of Egypt while enriching the learning process
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is about power and security in the international system. It addresses traditional
and new threats to international security. Inter-State territorial and intra-State ethnic conflicts
are examples of the former. Conflicts, actual or potential, deriving from the wide use of
extremist violence by transnational groups or over the use of non-renewable natural resources
and the population displacement consequences of climate change are instances of such
conflicts. The course will also address the search for peace and security and the need for
global governance of security. National policies, particularly those of great and medium-size
powers, with regard to security threats and mechanisms of governance will be perused.
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completing the course successfully, the students will be able to:
-
Display an understanding of traditional and new threats to international security;
Analyze the roles, opportunities and limitations of traditional and new actors in
international security;
Analyze national and international/regional organizations’ policies to deal with
specific security threats;
Understand the different stages of a conflict and the alternative approaches used to
address each one;
Apply an understanding of negotiation and other techniques to resolve conflicts at
each stage of the conflict prevention-resolution-recovery process.
