Economic and Political Development
Economic growth is a fundamental goal for all societies, but the consequences of development can be unexpected and not always desirable. Scholars in the field of sustainable development seek to understand the often obscure links between social and natural systems, providing policymakers with the information they need to promote human welfare over the long term. And Columbia has taken the lead in mobilizing a full complement of intellectual tools to meet the challenges of global governance. SIPA offers access to the resources of Columbia and New York City for students whose careers will require a solid command of both public policy and the natural sciences.
