“Summation”

Since its inception in 1966, the University of Otago Foreign Policy School has developed an international reputation, drawing top speakers from around the world, and is now regarded as a premiere event. One of the strengths of the School is that it is a weekend residential event - limited to 180 people - rather than simply a conference. It works particularly well because it happens away from the pressure of Wellington, New Zealand's capital, and takes place in the intimate atmosphere of Salmond Hall, one of the University’s halls of residence.

The 2005 Foreign Policy School promises to be highly stimulating, with the theme: Human Security and Development: Meeting the Millennium Development Goals?

The theme’s inspiration is the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs):

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger,
2. Achieve universal primary education,
3. Promote gender equality and empower women,
4. Reduce child mortality,
5. Improve maternal health,
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases,
7. Ensure environmental sustainability,
8. Develop a global partnership for development.

All 191 UN Member States, including New Zealand, have pledged to meet these MDGs by 2015. In 2005, coinciding with the UN’s 60th anniversary (and the Foreign Policy School’s 40th), the General Assembly will conduct its first comprehensive review of progress made towards the MDGs.

The 2005 Foreign Policy School will provide an opportunity for participants and the broader community to critically explore these human development issues, with particular emphasis on the role of foreign policy (both New Zealand's and other countries) in determining them.

Otago Foreign Policy School is supported by:
