Asia Institute for Political Economy Summer 2016 Opportunity to Study in Hong Kong

14th Annual Asia Institute for Political Economy (AIPE)
Hong Kong from July 9 – 30, 2016.

Based in Hong Kong, AIPE offers a unique opportunity for students from Asia and the United States to explore fundamental issues related to political economy and government and delve into serious political and economic issues facing their countries. As the financial center of Asia, as well as the location of recent pro-democracy protests, Hong Kong is the perfect setting to bring together students to discuss these topics. Students engage in a rigorous academic course and participate in stimulating lectures given by the region’s most esteemed experts. The combination of educational, cultural, and social exchange allows participants to explore challenging ideas, form life-long friendships, and form cross-border networks that will greatly benefit their educational and professional development. Upon successful completion of the program students will gain undergraduate credit from George Mason University.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the application deadline on March 1, 2016. Due to generous support of The Fund for American Studies, we offer scholarship funding to nearly all accepted students.
