PhD in International Governance and Sustainable Development

 

PhD Curriculum

To awaken the right knowledge, moral and spiritual consciousness of human being is obviously the only sure way to lay the foundation of world peace and prosperity of each nation.

The programme spreads over two years. Candidates come together for a one week seminar every two months. They will work as a team of three and will be mentored by a team including one academician, one chief executive officer, and one former minister during the two years.

Our curriculum is based on understanding the interrelationships among the different levels and domains of humanity (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), structures (economic, political, social), and from the personal to the universal.

During the first year the participants embrace the importance of the world connected by technology, trade and shared values among the different topics, moving from partial knowledge to holistic understanding and awareness.

The second year requires participants to apply this understanding to their particular region and to identify the key indexes of control and validation.

It is required that candidates be selected or accepted by their own government. Tuition is $200,000 US covering the two years. This includes accommodations. The training will be conducted in Asia, in the United States and in Europe.
