Leadership in Practice
Leading in International Organizations (UN)
This course introduces students to the United Nations and the realities of working at a multilateral institution: a primer on the United Nations organizational structure and how to interact with or within an international organization. We focus on political and managerial leadership and examine real-case scenarios of political negotiations, peacekeeping roles, management, support services, and disarmament and non-proliferation issues. We also address the issue of the relevance of the multilateral institution in today鈥檚 world and the outlook for the future, especially considering the assumption of office of a new Secretary-General on 1 January 2027.
