The Global Citizen: Volume I: Issue 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940997032)

The Global Citizen: Volume I: Issue 1 (Black and White Student Edition) The Global Citizen is an independent student-run organization whose primary purpose is to provide one of the few venues in the world through which the world's young scholars can publish exemplary work pertaining to contentious issues in international affairs. The Citizen is headquartered at Miami University of Ohio, where it is led by a student staff that makes all administrative and editorial decisions. With the advising of university faculty and professionals in the field, The Citizen seeks to publish a journal of academic scholarship to be shared with the global community. The Citizen is devoted to publishing particularly exceptional work submitted primarily by undergraduate students from all corners of the globe. The ultimate intent is to foster global citizenship among young scholars by encouraging a holistic view of world conflicts and an ever-broadening understanding of how different contexts produce different viewpoints. In addition to providing the international academic community with novel perspectives from the world's brightest young minds, The Citizen seeks to contribute to international scholarship and development in three ways. First, the Journal is designed to provide an alternative voice in the realm of research and academia and to serve as a useful research tool for academics and global scholars worldwide to broaden their opinion horizons and understandings of what the younger generation of leaders thinks. Second, the facilitation of the rigorous review process for the selection of exemplary pieces provides the student-led editing staff with an invaluable exercise to hone their editing skills. Third, The Global Citizen is on track to becoming an international company. Such an endeavor affords the staff with the unique opportunity to run an international enterprise at a young age, effectively developing their understanding of how to expand a business into emerging world markets, language competencies, management skills and awareness of world issues. As the world becomes more globalized each day, these are the requisite tools for future leaders to have.
