Teaching Public Service and Non-Democratic Regimes

Colin Talbot By Colin Talbot Filed Under: Whitehall Watch Posted: February 26, 2011

Dick Pratt, University of Hawai`i at Manoa – Whose Problem Is This? Our Responsibilities to Public Affairs Program Graduates Who Return to Oppressive Regimes

Abstract: This essay explores questions raised by graduates of public affairs programs who return to politically oppressive regimes. The decision about whether, and to what extent, to assume responsibility for addressing this issue is critical. If we decide to address it in our programs, there are both challenges and opportunities. Whatever our institutional and individual circumstances, this appears to be an area where we can learn from one another.
