A poster session held in the Nott Memorial Wednesday featured the research of students in the course, “Theories of International Relations.”
The event, part of the College's Entrepreneurship program, was sponsored by Union Trustee Steve Ritterbush '68 and alumnus Dennis Hoffman '85.
Political Science Professor Robert Hislope teaches the class this spring term. The twist on entrepreneurship that his students address is the role of entrepreneurial criminals (or criminal entrepreneurs) in global politics.
Topics for the research projects and posters include: sex trafficking and sex tourism in the Balkans and Asia; kleptocratic elites in Africa and Latin America; petrostates and corruption; arms dealers, pirates, and the privatization of warfare and the role of corruption and organized crime during post-communist transitions.
