Please feel free to bring your dinner! Ideology: The Center for International Affairs believes that societies face collective challenges and that we can and should work together to confront them. This spirit of hope and pragmatism is the essence, we believe, of America's progressive tradition and the core of our generation's political philosophy. In the words of our namesake, Franklin D. Roosevelt, ?We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." Here at Middlebury College, our center is collaboratively working with professors to design and develop a policy approach of viable and measurable change in the field of international affairs. Drawing upon past student research, we are building for the future. We seek to bring together the individually diverse backgrounds of our membership toward a collective vision of global change that is legislatively attainable and ideologically progressive. Opportunities for Fellows: During the 2006-2007 academic year as a member of the International Affairs Center, you will be engaged in debate, research and the composition of policy recomendations on a diverse scope of global issues.  Given the National Roosevelt Challanges chosen this year, topics include but are not limited to: immigration, US's stance on the Kyoto Protocol, US/EU diplomacy, third world debt and US manipulation of transnational monetary policy (WTO, IMF, World Bank, NAFTA), US's position on international human rights, prisoner treatment and social justice.  Through the International Affairs center, fellows will have access to the following opportunities for publication:  Midd Review, Middlebury's annual policy review Roosevelt Review, Roosevelt's national bi-annual policy review The Internationalist Magazine, An independant and nationally acclaimed policy journal: www.intmag.org The Campus, Middlebury's weekly campus newspaper: http://www.middleburycampus.com Roosevelt policy database: http://rooseveltinstitution.org/policy Roosevelt Blog: http://rooseveltinstitution.org/blog The center will work to engage in open dialogue with elected VT state officials, Middlebury professors, the Rohatyn Center on International Affairs, Roosevelt fellows at other institutions and topic-specific field experts.
