Students demonstrate the ability to evaluate international industry that supports the national innovation and defense industrial bases; derive fact-based, analytical, and resource-informed policy recommendations; and communicate them in a compelling fashion. Students develop actionable and resource-informed policy recommendations to strengthen the national innovation and defense industrial bases.

Reconstruction

The Class of 2017 Reconstruction Industry Seminar analyzed the various components that encompass the industry, from government departments, non-governmental organizations, and private industry, to international partners and organizations. The analysis specifically included two country studies and visits: the post-conflict peace process in Colombia with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and the post-disaster operations in Haiti connected to the 2010 earthquake and 2016 Hurricane Matthew. While both countries have made great strides in making sure both processes are planned, they are not absent numerous obstacles and challenges that threaten prevention of a lasting solution in both. This paper addresses these obstacles and challenges in greater detail and offers US policy recommendations that could help maximize finite resources and foster better, more lasting solutions to these countries. It is the seminar’s expectation that, in the long run, these recommendations will make them better partners and allies of the United States.
