WEDNESDAY 10AM at HKS - Cities and States: The New Global Players

by DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program

*Cities and States: The New Global Players* *Seminar by Rodrigo TavaresWednesday, January 2810:00 - 11:00 amTaubman 301* Rodrigo Tavares, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard Kennedy School and former Head of the São Paulo State Government's Office of Foreign Affairs (2011-2014) The international activism of subnational governments (city and states) is rapidly growing across the world, discreetly transforming diplomatic practices and the delivery of public services. Cities and/or states sign international agreements, are members of international organizations, have formal relations with sovereign nations and run their own diplomatic representations. The seminar provides an overview of paradiplomacy worldwide and explores what lies ahead for foreign affairs, urbanism and public policies. Rodrigo Tavares is a Senior Research Fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government (Taubman Center for State and Local Government). He served as Head of the Office of Foreign Affairs of São Paulo’s State Government (2011-2014). His latest books are Security in South America (Lynne Rienner, 2014) and Regional Security: The Capacity of International Organizations (Routledge, 2010).

Institute of Politics Director’s Internship

by DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program

*Institute of Politics Director’s Internship* co-sponsored with the Center on the Developing Child and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies São Paulo City Hall – Early Childhood Development Policy São Paulo, Brazil *Summer 2015* São Paulo City Hall is offering a special opportunity for a qualified Harvard undergraduate to intern with São Paulo Carinhosa (“Caring São Paulo”), the city government’s policy initiative for early childhood development. Established in August 2013, São Paulo Carinhosa works across a wide range of city secretariats, including education, health, social development, social assistance and human rights, to promote physical, motor, cognitive, psychological and social development of children between zero and six years old. São Paulo is the largest city in South America, with nearly 12 million inhabitants living within its legal boundaries and nearly 20 million people in the greater metropolitan area. It is home to more than 860,000 children between zero and six years old, many of whom live in low-income neighborhoods on the periphery of the city. Supporting vulnerable children and their families has been identified as a key strategy by São Paulo’s administration to promote fairness and opportunity among its citizens. In recent years, as part of a six-institution collaborative partnership (http://www.ncpi.org.br/), Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child and David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies have been deeply engaged with early childhood development in Brazil, aiming to generate, integrate and act on scientific knowledge for large-scale impact. Through faculty research and the Executive Leadership Program on Early Childhood Development, Harvard has provided important inputs to São Paulo Carinhosa’s creation and design. The IOP Director’s Internship will immerse a Harvard undergraduate in the complexity and challenges of transforming legislation into real programmatic and policy action in a 21st-century megacity. The selected candidate will work with São Paulo Carinhosa’s leadership to identify and support specific projects that suit his or her abilities and interests. The position is an excellent opportunity for students interested in policy, management and/or social and economic development. It will be of special interest to students passionate about reducing poverty and inequality through public services such as education, health and social assistance. The intern will gain first-hand experience with city government and child development in São Paulo and have the option to participate in the Executive Leadership Program on Early Childhood Development at Harvard in mid-August as a capstone to the internship experience. The ideal candidate for this Director’s Internship will have: • Advanced verbal and written communication skills in English and Portuguese; • Strong academic record with a demonstrated interest in public policy issues; • Exceptional personal and organizational skills with high sensitivity to the political and social context in which they will be working; • An ability to adapt within complex, dynamic and challenging environments; and • A high degree of maturity, reliability, self-motivation and professionalism.
