Regionalism and Transregionalism in Latin America brings together scholars from various disciplines, institutes, government ministries, and centers from across the hemisphere to foster collaborative research on Latin American trade and foreign policy related issues. Over the past several years, the Berkeley APEC Study Center has trained dozens of exceptional undergraduate students as research assistants, offering them an opportunity to develop their research skills while learning more about global economic and business developments. In the process students learn to formulate a research question, conduct primary and secondary research, develop analytical skills, and write research papers. The skills and recommendation letters from BASC have helped these students to move on to top-tier law schools, graduate schools, and private firms. We maintain the highest standards of professionalism in our research team.
Editorial experience is also a plus.
Please contact us for an interview. This project seeks to understand the conditions under which states comply with international rules in the absence of strong central mechanisms for their enforcement. I am constructing datasets on state behavior in each of these issue areas, and seek undergraduate assistants in each. Students can expect to work on this research between 8 and 10 hours per week. Three positions are open to assist with this project.
