*Failing, Failed, and Fragile States Conference *
The UBC International Relations Students Association is hosting a
National Foreign Policy Conference on Failing, Failed, and Fragile
States from March 8th to 10th, 2007 at the University of British Columbia.
The conference aims to challenge students across Canada from all
disciplines to actively participate in the process of forming Canadian
foreign policy by providing policy recommendations to the Canadian
Government. This is an amazing opportunity for students to engage policy
experts whom they don't normally have access to; there will be
representatives from CIDA, DFAIT, DND, the UNDP, the Parliamentary
Centre, and numerous other NGOs and academic institutions across Canada.
We are looking to recruit a second round of delegates and would
sincerely appreciate having the promotion text attached below forwarded
to your members. The deadline has been extended to February 16, 2007 and
applicants will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Sincerely,
Lammie Cheng
