Overview
American University's Center for Democracy and Election Management (CDEM) hosts a 10 day executive education program for decision makers and policy specialists in the area of election management in Washington D.C.
Selected candidates participate in high-level discussions led by eminent election professionals and scholars who have worked on elections in the United States and throughout the world. These experts address the full range of challenges in elections taking into account the particular needs of participants on the Arabian Peninsula.
Faculty
The program draws on leading scholars from American University's School of Public Affairs, School of International Service, Washington College of Law, School of Communication, and College of Arts and Sciences. The faculty also includes distinguished elections experts from institutions in Washington, D.C. and abroad.
Dr. Robert Pastor, Director of CDEM, brings substantial experience to the classroom. After serving as White House National Security Advisor for Latin American affairs (1977-1981), he was a Fellow at the Carter Center (1985-1998), where he founded and served as the Executive Secretary of a group of 32 leaders, chaired by President Jimmy Carter, which monitored elections in more than 30 countries. Dr. Pastor developed the technique of "election mediation," which is used by the Carter Center. He served as Senior Advisor to the Carter-Ford National Commission on Federal Election Reform and, more recently, was Executive Director of the Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform.
The course uses a similar curriculum to past institutes conducted by American University by combining lectures, discussions and in-depth country-specific work to allow participants to not only understand the key issues but apply it to their own unique situations.
The fellowship will cover all international and domestic travel, housing and meals.
Criteria for Selection
The Institute is designed for policy makers, political party activists and people who can inform the debate about electoral administration in their countries. English-language proficiency is required to participate in the Institute.
Program Dates
June and December, annually.
How to apply
Completed application forms can be submitted to the MEPI Coordinator at the U.S Embassy in Manama or to Dr. George Guess. (E-mail: guess@american.edu / Fax: +1-202-885- 1366)
At least two participants from each country should be female and will attend special training sessions that occur one day before and one day after the regular Institute.
Application Deadline: TBD
