Editor’s Notes
The Two Lefts in Latin America
Our speaker in May, Dr. Raul Madrid, demonstrated a correlation between when a left-leaning group takes power in Latin America and whether they support liberal or populist variations of leftist policy. It is an interesting thesis that he supported with specific examples, acknowledging that factors other than timing also played a role. Just because things are related in a temporal sense does not mean they are cause-and-effect.

SCWA Board Member Tapped for Prestigious Academic Position
Dr. José de Arimatéia da Cruz, Professor of International Relations and Comparative Politics at Armstrong Atlantic State University, and Savannah Council Board Member, will be a Visiting Research Professor at the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute for academic year 2014. Congratulations, Dr. da Cruz!
Student Study Abroad Stipends
The Savannah Council on World Affairs (SCWA) provides stipends to as many as four students each year in support of their plans to engage in a study abroad program. We believe that such programs increase an individuals perspective on world affairs and gives them a better foundation for future involvement in the larger community.
Each candidate must have already been accepted to a study abroad program, must meet our academic criteria, and must have a verifiable need for financial assistance. Academic coordinators at both AASU and Savannah State screen prospective candidates and provide us with a selection to choose from.
Your generous donation can help us raise the level of support we provide (currently $750 per student) or perhaps increase the number of students we support.
To contribute online, please click here.
On behalf of the students, Thank You!
