Developing an Expertise in International Trade

Rochelle Osei-Tutu, SIS/MA '16

IER equipped me with knowledge of international trade theory and history.

I think the unique experience that's offered through the IER program is that you can focus on the niche that you want to develop. I realized that I was interested in international trade, so I was able to take courses on the political economy as well as digital trade and trade theory. That helped me form the foundation that I needed for my job at the International Trade Administration.

We’ve established the SIS Global Elections Tracker as a resource for keeping apprised of politics at the national level—to promote active engagement and analysis. Individual results may help highlight trends in democratization and democratic backsliding.
