Letter from Dean Janow From its establishment in 1946 as a leading school for educating future diplomats to its present role as a multidisciplinary center for research, education, and engagement on global public policy challenges, SIPA has always been a place where the world connects. With an international student body, a renowned faculty of scholars and expert practitioners, an engaging curriculum, and a diverse set of fields, SIPA convenes remarkable people to address the world’s most significant policy problems.

In the 2014–2015 academic year, SIPA’s students, faculty, and many collaborators advanced our mission in important and innovative ways. We did so across our core fields of international finance, economic and political development, energy and environment, human rights and humanitarian policy, international security, and urban and social policy. SIPA solidified new, cross-cutting initiatives in areas such as technology and public policy, central banking and sound capital markets, and global urban affairs. In addition, we welcomed prominent scholars as well as government and business leaders to speak to our community— including a U.S. presidential candidate, three foreign finance ministers, global mayors, and many others.

SIPA’s faculty remains the core of our intellectual engagement and scholarly research. SIPA faculty undertook important research on international security, inequality, corruption, energy, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and conflict in Africa, by way of a few examples. Furthering their impact, our faculty published extensively in major academic journals and media outlets.

The following are just a few examples of new additions to our faculty this past year. Professor Takatoshi Ito, a Japanese economics expert, joined the faculty this spring. SIPA was fortunate to have with us the scholar and former finance minister of Chile, Professor Andrés Velasco, and a former minister of foreign affairs and political scientist from Mexico, Professor Jorge Castañeda, as the visiting Ball Professor.

For our students, we focused on improving their experience at SIPA in numerous ways. In 2014–2015, students benefitted from an expanded curriculum that included new courses on social entrepreneurship, energy management and innovation, cyberconflict, global nutrition, and the origins of environmental law.

Students also participated in more than 80 capstone and development workshops that allowed them to build foundational knowledge and practical skills through challenging field assignments and international internships. We also completed the second year of the Dean’s Public Policy Challenge Grant, where student teams received various forms of guidance and a share of $50,000 for projects that leveraged technology and data to solve global urban problems.

SIPA’s talented alumni continue to have global impact, serving in leadership roles in international development banks, civic organizations, financial and advisory firms, governments at all levels, and on the frontlines of humanitarian crises and disasters.

Across a complex and ever-evolving public policy landscape, SIPA’s relevance has never been greater. As dean of SIPA, it has been my privilege to lead this esteemed institution for the past two years. As we anticipate our 70th anniversary, we thank our many partners, colleagues, and friends for their ongoing support and engagement.

Student Programs This was the second year in the rollout of “The Program,” E&E’s innovative approach to enhancing its students’ professional development.

Following The Program’s debut last year, E&E students achieved a banner year of placement in top-notch industry jobs. Through comprehensive preparation and engagement with faculty and advisers, E&E students are more prepared than ever to enter the workforce. The Program’s core advisory and engagement offerings were complemented by a lineup of brown bag lunch programs, alumni outreach events, and mixers arranged by its leading student organizations, the SIPA Energy Association (SEA) and the Environmental Coalition (ECO).

Students participated in hundreds of industry events around the city this year, including Climate Week, New York Energy Week, the Cleantech Open, and the launch of the UN Sustainability for All (SE4All) Initiative. On campus, the student-run Columbia Annual Energy Symposium celebrated its 10th year with more than 500 attendees; the event also featured the first venture showcase and a display of electric vehicles by BMW. Oil drilling rig in the Arctic

The Global “Collaboratory” This year marked the launch of the Global Collaboratory, a curricular enhancement program designed to engage students with energy and environment practitioners around the world. The program connects students with faculty, alumni, and external organizations and provides a platform for students to develop and participate in activities that create impact and build networks in their chosen field. This year, more than 60 E&E students participated in trips to Houston, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., to meet alumni, tour companies, and host mixers for professionals.

Students also participated in faculty-led trips to visit a coal mine in West Virginia, a refinery complex in New Jersey, an LNG export terminal in Canada, and a nuclear power plant in New York State.

Ten students received funding to work on two Global Collaboratory projects in China. One project explored partnerships with top Chinese officials to develop a renewable energy policy database; the other project developed a plan to extend the benefits of rural electrification to remote communities. A third funded project sent a team of students to Indonesia to work on gender and environment statistics reporting and to film a documentary about this project.

A team was formed and funded to work toward participation in the UNFCCC’s 21st Conference of Parties (COP) in Paris in December 2015. From this base, the Global Collaboratory is expected to continue expanding these funding, partnership, and professional development opportunities in the years to come.

Capstone Workshop Developing the Arctic: Balancing Energy Security and Commercial Opportunities with Environmental and Social Responsibilities Client: Barclays Adviser: Natasha Udensiva With a rapidly changing climate, Arctic nations are adjusting their policies to meet the more navigable and less hostile Arctic. Estimations indicate that the Arctic could hold 30 percent of the world’s undiscovered gas, 13 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil, and 44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids. The aim of this Capstone project was to illustrate the opportunities and challenges related to future Arctic oil and gas development. The team researched offshore oil and gas—the main focus of future exploratory activity. Although Arctic drilling is not now commercially viable and is not expected to be in the near future, a careful analysis of its expected costs and benefits remains relevant.

The project outlined the key motivations for oil and gas development, focusing on geopolitical tensions; the interests of the three most important Arctic states (Russia, the U.S., and Canada); environmental challenges; shipping; technology; infrastructure; and tax regimes and investment activities. The team looked at each of these aspects, using the different Arctic countries as the unit of analysis where appropriate.

They joined students from seven European partner universities, guided by faculty from the participating schools, including Columbia’s Dirk Salomons and Roy Williams.

Capstone Workshops Migrant Domestic Workers’ Access to Services and Rights: The Role of Municipal Governments in New York City and São Paolo Client: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) Adviser: Daniel Naujoks Domestic workers represent a poorly regulated labor market of 53 million people, 83 percent of whom are women. Overlapping issues of gender, race, class, and legal status intersect to produce a uniquely vulnerable workforce. Recent laws in New York State (2010) and Brazil (2013) attempt to provide a regulatory framework for increased protection. This Capstone project evaluated the implementation of the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights in New York City and the amendment to Article 7 of the Brazilian Constitution in São Paulo.

Mapping Global Surveillance and Proposing Solutions to Respect Human Rights Client: Access Adviser: Anya Schiffrin The Capstone project sought to create a central database of global surveillance laws to facilitate future advocacy around human rights and communications surveillance. Additionally, the project generated a snapshot of the current global legal structures that permit domestic surveillance and analyzed how these legal frameworks are applied in practice.

Gary Shaye, senior director of humanitarian operations at Save the Children, gave an insider’s perspective on how an international NGO mounts a humanitarian response in different situations.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCE AND ECONOMIC POLICY IN 2014–2015, ECONOMIC AND TRADE POLICY OFTEN DOMINATED the headlines. With SIPA’s expert faculty, students in the International Finance and Economic Policy (IFEP) concentration tackled the issues central to these policy debates.

Economics Expert Joins Faculty Takatoshi Ito joined the SIPA faculty as professor of international and public affairs in January 2015. An internationally renowned economist, Ito is an expert on international finance, macroeconomics, and the Japanese economy. He previously served as a member of the Prime Minister’s Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy and as dean of the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Public Policy. In spring 2015, he taught “Asian Financial Markets.”

Capstone Workshop Frameworks for Implementing Macroprudential Policy: A Comparative Examination of the Bank of England and the U.S. Financial Stability Oversight Council Client: Federal Reserve Bank of New York—Markets Group Adviser: Richard H. Clarida This Capstone project first provided a critical review of the ways in which professional and academic thinking had evolved regarding macroprudential policy and an assessment of potential tensions

between macroprudential and monetary policy. The team then examined how the Bank of England since 2010 had reorganized itself for macroprudential, microprudential, and monetary policy responsibilities. The team discussed the Financial Policy Committee’s specific macroprudential endeavors that had been undertaken so far. The project also focused on how the Financial Stability Oversight Council oversees macroprudential policy development and implementation in the U.S. and provided a schematic mapping between the BoE institutional framework and the responsibilities of FSOC stakeholders.

Selected Events Challenges Facing the World Trade System September 30, 2014 This conference brought together the leading trade economists, legal experts specializing in trade, and practitioners from various international institutions including the WTO and the OECD to shed light on the future of the global trading system.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY POLICY

Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor and professor of international and public affairs

THE INTERNATIONAL SECURITY POLICY CONCENTRATION (ISP) FACULTY AND STUDENTS GRAPPLED WITH A HOST OF PRESSING international developments in 2014–2015, ranging from the continued expansion of ISIS in Iraq and Syria to the reestablishment of U.S.-Cuban diplomatic relations and the nuclear accord with Iran.

New Faculty and Courses ISP welcomed Martin Libicki as a new adjunct faculty member this year. Libicki, a senior management scientist at RAND and the author of several books on information technology and national security, taught a new class, “Cyberwar.”

SIPA offered several additional courses on topics of increasing importance to policymakers, including “China’s Security and the PLA,” taught by adjunct professor Roy Kamphausen, and “Threat Financing and Anti-Money Laundering,” taught by adjunct professor Annemarie McAvoy. Finally, “International Signaling and Communication,” taught by Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor and Professor of International and

Public Affairs, and Peter Clement, former deputy director for intelligence for analytic programs at the CIA and visiting professor of international and public affairs, allowed ISP students a valuable opportunity to study international relations with both a renowned scholar and a practitioner.

ISP Crisis Simulation: Conflict in Ukraine The International Security Policy concentration hosted a Crisis Simulation in February based on the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. Teams represented Russia, NATO, Ukraine, the European Union, the United States, and, in a mid-simulation twist, the Donetsk People’s Republic (with defectors

from the Russia and Ukraine teams). The simulation ended surprisingly, with a peace treaty and alliance being formed between Ukraine, Russia, and the DPR shortly after the “assassination” of President Putin by parties unknown. The lively, daylong exercise provided an excellent opportunity for students to develop hands-on negotiation and diplomatic skills.

Students Shine in Competitions ISP students excelled in a number of competitions this year. Five of this year’s nine Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) finalists from SIPA were ISP concentrators, three from the class of 2015, and two from

In March 2015, a team of SIPA ISP students performed laudably in the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Policy Competition. After three rounds of cyber policy briefs, the students finished in second place. And finally, ISP students competed against Human Rights and International Finance and Economic Policy to win the SIPA Debate and Diplomacy Society’s “Clash of Concentrations” debate tournament.

Capstone Workshops In the spring of 2015, ISP students participated in Capstone workshops that allowed them to engage in consulting projects with a wide range of clients including government agencies, think tanks, multilateral organizations, and private sector clients.

China’s Policy Responses to U.S. Rebalance to the Asia-Pacific: Assessment of Key Regional States Client: United States Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Adviser: Roy Kamphausen

Peaceland suggests a new explanation for why international peace interventions often fail to reach their full potential. Based on several years of ethnographic research in conflict zones around the world, it demonstrates that everyday elements—such as the expatriates’ social habits and usual approaches to understanding their areas of operation—strongly influence peacebuilding effectiveness.

The Obama administration instituted a plan to expand and intensify the United States’ engagement with the Asia-Pacific region in what has become known as the “U.S. Rebalance.” This Capstone team researched the degree to which changes in China’s diplomatic, economic, and military engagement with key Asia-Pacific countries can be attributed to the U.S. rebalance to the Asia-Pacific from 2009 to 2015.

URBAN AND SOCIAL POLICY FACULTY AND STUDENTS IN SIPA’S URBAN AND SOCIAL POLICY (USP) CONCENTRATION STUDIED THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS OF urbanization, ranging from housing and education in New York to infrastructure and economic development in cities around the globe.

Voting Week Initiative Promotes Civic Engagement

Sarah Holloway: 21st-Century Education for NYC Public School Children

October 6–14, 2014

Sarah Holloway, a lecturer in international and public affairs, has been working to bridge the technology divide between the haves and havenots in the local public school system for almost 20 years. Her most recent effort is as cofounder of CSNYC.org, a foundation that provides access to computer science education for NYC’s 1.1 million public school students. Its ultimate goal is to increase the representation of the city’s underserved populations in the technology sector.

USP partnered with Columbia College to host five days of speakers and events designed to promote civic engagement and community involvement among students. USP students staffed voter registration tables and completed 500 new voter registrations and absentee ballot requests. Speakers included former mayor of New York City and SIPA professor David Dinkins, former governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee, and former deputy prime minister of Iraq Barham Salih.

Prof. Ester Fuchs moderated the panel “Political Engagement, Advocacy, and Public Policy,” which included Sayu Bhojwani, founding director of the New American Leaders Project; Dick Dadey, executive director of the Citizen’s Union; Joshua Klainberg, senior vice president of the New York League of Conservation Voters; and Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives.

Faculty Achievements Ester Fuchs Receives NASPAA Award Ester Fuchs, USP director and professor of public affairs and political science, was honored with a NASPAA Spotlight Award for “outstanding contributions toward solving public-sector problems.” The award reflected Fuchs’s work since 2012 to develop and promote the Who’s On the Ballot voter-information website.

Paul Lagunes: Collaborations—Mexico and Peru Paul Lagunes, assistant professor of international and public affairs, has entered into an official, three-year collaboration with Peru’s Office of the Comptroller General, with the aim of generating research on corruption prevention in cities. He also advised a trio of Mexican senators on anticorruption policy reforms. The exchange was especially timely because of recent corruption scandals in Mexico and the legislature’s passage of anticorruption reform.

Students Compete in Public Policy Challenge USP students Chiara Lawry MPA ’16, Michael Sedillo MPA ’16, and Caitlin Tommasulo MPA ’16 represented SIPA at the National Invitational Public Policy Challenge, hosted by the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania and Governing magazine. The proposal “TEAM: Together Education Achieves More” was designed to

Predicting the Geospatial Economic Impact of New York City Capital Investments Client: NYC Department of Design and Construction (“NYC DDC”) Town+Gown program Adviser: Damian Busch The SIPA team surveyed the academic literature and interviewed prominent researchers to arrive at a generalized hedonic regression model that could be tailored to a wide variety of capital investment types and environments. Gathering more than a decade’s worth of data, the team developed a methodology to tailor the generalized model to measure the impact of a specific capital budget project— public library repairs at the Great Kills Library in Staten Island—and showed that the capital improvements made to the library had a measurable impact on the sale prices of surrounding homes. The agency has decided to use the model in future policy decisions.

EXECUTIVE MPA

The first cohort of Brazilian students in the Global EMPA program in front of Alma Mater

Global EMPA Program Launched in Brazil THE GLOBAL EXECUTIVE MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Program—a blended online, face-to-face degree program—launched this spring in Brazil through the Columbia Global Center in Rio de Janeiro. The program’s first cohort includes students from the Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES), the National Telecommunications Agency of Brazil (Anatel), and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM), as well as various departments within Rio de Janeiro’s City Hall.

The Global EMPA program combines online video lectures with faceto-face instruction to deliver Columbia’s first-ever graduate program offered internationally. The 18-month program also includes two intensive summer sessions held during the month of July at Columbia’s New York City campus.

This year’s summer session coincided with another Picker Center initiative, the Technology and Innovation in the Public Service conference.

During the conference, Global EMPA students presented their research on the use of big data to combat dengue fever, sustainable urban planning, and natural resource management in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

These students will be joined in the spring of 2016 by the second cohort of students from Brazil, as well as the first cohort of Global EMPA students from the United States. The program is expected to expand to India and China in coming years, creating a “Global 100” network of public management experts.

EMPA Alumni Making a Difference Howard W.

IN THE CLASSROOM AND IN THE FIELD, students in the MPA in Development Practice (MPA-DP) program hone their skills to find practical solutions to sustainable development challenges.

Preparing for the Age of Sustainable Development The year 2015 is a milestone one. The world’s leaders have committed to a new set of global goals to replace the Millennium Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals— the SDGs—will guide development practice for the next 15 years. The MPA in Development Practice is preparing a new generation of practitioners who will lead and manage in the Age of Sustainable Development.

Partnering with the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) SDSN was launched by UN SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon in August 2012, to

mobilize scientific and technical expertise from academia, civil society, and the private sector in support of sustainable development problem solving on a local, national, and global scale. The director of the MPA-DP program, Professor Glenn Denning, serves as senior policy adviser at SDSN and leads its work on sustainable agriculture and food systems.

As part of Professor Jeffrey Sachs’s “Workshop in Applied Human Ecology” course, MPA-DP students developed an online handbook to assist countries in understanding the SDGs and planning for implementation. Adjunct professor and SDSN senior adviser Shiv Someshwar and Professor Sachs led the MPA-DP core course “Foundations of Sustainable Development Practice” in fall 2014, drawing on SDSN resources, including a MOOC on “The Age of Sustainable Development.” In addition, several students interned at SDSN over the past year, providing valuable support in the areas of sustainable development financing, global SDG indicators, and online education.

New Technology Connects Farmers to Markets The global diversity, availability, and affordability of mobile information and communications technologies (ICT) for low-resource settings, including those designed specifically for agricultural use, have increased in recent years. To date, none has yet been successfully implemented for major agricultural value chains in Timor-Leste.

A team of MPA-DP students—Andrew Carmona ’15, Boris Maguire ’15, Molly Schneider ’15, and Matt Smith ’15—worked on improving access to markets for Timorese rice and vegetable farmers. They visited Timor-Leste in January 2015 to interview farmers and traders and to field test and assess new ICT approaches. Through a Development Practitioner Workshop, they devised and recommended a suite of options deploying mobile phone technologies to improve farmers’ access to new production technologies and market information.

Human Nutrition: In Need of a Multisector Approach

Teaching Award for courses with under 30 participants in spring 2015.

One of the world’s greatest challenges is to secure plentiful, healthful, and nutritious food for all, and to do so in an environmentally sustainable and safe manner. This challenge is under threat on many fronts: climate change, population growth, extreme poverty, changing energy-intensive food patterns, water scarcity, and land degradation, among others. The new SDGs include a goal to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.” Thus, improving human nutrition is a priority thematic focus of the MPA-DP.

Sustainable Development Requires an Ecosystem of Partners and Approaches

Jessica Fanzo, assistant professor at the Columbia Institute for Human Nutrition, developed and taught a new course, “Global Nutrition Science and Policy,” in the fall of 2014. The course focused on how science and research, policies and programs, and overarching development issues and debates intersect with food and nutrition. Fanzo won the SIPA Distinguished

Achievement of the SDGs will require unprecedented involvement of governments, business, and civil society. For this reason, the MPA-DP program is broadening its curriculum, its partnerships, and its approaches.

In the summer of 2015, 55 first-year students were placed in an unprecedented 28 countries working with 40 different partners in governments, UN agencies, international research organizations, NGOs, social enterprises, and businesses.

MPA IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLICY SIPA’S MPA IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLICY (MPA-ESP) CONTINUES TO ATTRACT STUDENTS FROM COUNTRIES AROUND the world who want to study in New York City, a global nexus of sustainability, policy, finance, and technology. Here are some of the highlights from this past year.

New Course In fall 2014, SIPA, the School of Continuing Education, and The Earth Institute cosponsored a new course, “The Origins of Environmental Law,” taught by Leon Billings and Tom Jorling, the senior Democratic and Republican staff members who led the Senate environment subcommittee that originated and developed major environmental legislation of the 1970s, such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund).

The class provided insight into the legislative and human dynamic in the 1970s versus today and discussed how public policy shapes the management of environments and organizations.

Students had a chance to look at the role of the media, lobbyists, and the administration and to examine issues of partisanship and economics in the context of lawmaking.

The course was filmed and will be turned into a documentary about the political and social dynamics that led to the success of environmental policymaking during the 1970s.

Naidu Awarded Sloan Fellowship Suresh Naidu has been selected as a 2015 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in Economics, an honor that recognizes young scholars for “distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field.” The prize includes $50,000 to support Naidu’s research over the next two years.

Awards and Recognitions Anthony D’Agostino, PhD candidate, won the Columbia Global Policy Initiative fellowship of $2,500 for his research on “Rural Credit and Adaptation to Climate Change.” The funds will be used to support fieldwork and the purchase of data for his research on Indian agriculture under climate change.

Eyal Frank, PhD candidate, won the Columbia Global Policy Initiative fellowship of $2,500 for his research on wind turbines, bats, and pesticide use by farmers.

Solomon Hsiang PhD ’11 was named as one of Forbes 30 Under 30: Law and Policy Award in 2014.

Anna Tompsett PhD ’14 won the Swedish Research Council Development Research Grant.

Jason Wong, PhD candidate, was one of eight finalists (out of 200 nominations) for the 2015 Presidential Teaching Award for Graduate Students. He was also accepted as a Lead Teaching Fellow, a first for SIPA.

New Research Belinda Archibong PhD ’15 coauthored “Geography of Infrastructure Functionality at Schools in Nigeria: Evidence From Spatial Data Analysis Across Local Government Areas,” Papers in Applied Geography 1, no. 2 (2015).

The work of Prabhat Barnwal PhD ’15 was cited in a July 22 essay for the New York Times’ Opinion section, “Transforming the Fight Against Poverty in India.”

Barnwal’s dissertation, “Curbing Leakage in Public Programs with Biometric Identification Systems: Evidence from India’s Fuel Subsidies,” examined how India’s government can better target beneficiaries of a program to subsidize the purchase of cooking gas for home use. Barnwal joined Michigan State University this fall as an assistant professor in the Department of Economics.

Anthony D’Agostino coauthored the paper “Socio-economic Determinants of Charcoal Expenditures in Tanzania:

Evidence from Panel Data,” which was published in Energy Economics. Using household-level panel data for Tanzania, the authors found a positive correlation between household income and charcoal expenditure for urban households, but no relationship between household size and charcoal consumption. This suggests that incomes are not yet sufficient for energy switching to cleaner fuels. Given Tanzania’s fast pace of urbanization, greater attention should be paid to promoting sustainable charcoal production and to transitioning to alternative fuel sources uncoupled from the country’s deforestation problems.

Eyal Frank, along with coauthors Avi Ebenstein and Yaniv Reingewertz, published a paper that estimates the shortrun effects of particulate matter under 10 microns (PM10) on hospital admissions due to respiratory conditions. In order to derive causal estimates of the link between PM10 and health, the authors use sandstorms, which occur randomly throughout the year, and provide a natural experiment setting. They find that an increase of 10 micrograms of PM10 leads to an increase of 1 percent in hospital admissions, which is similar to the estimate in the epidemiological literature, but this estimate allows for a causal interpretation.

Amir Jina PhD ’14 coauthored “Satellites, Self-Reports, and Submersion: Exposure to Floods in Bangladesh,” American Economic Review, 105, no. 5 (May 2015): 232–36, which shows that “rainfall and self-reported exposure are weak proxies for true flood exposure.” These data allow us to study adaptation, “giving accurate measures of both long-term averages and short-term

variation in exposure.” This is important in studying climate change impacts, as people will not only experience new exposures, but also experience them differently.

Nan Zhong’s PhD ’15 dissertation work on superstition in China and how it affects air pollution control negatively in Beijing was featured in Mother Board magazine.

Her research looks into the “odd-even car ban”: Each day during the workweek, two ending digits on license plates are banned from the road between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Zhong found that given the “bad luck” associated with the number four, fewer license plates end in four, increasing the number of cars found on the road on the day four is banned. On these days, Zhong saw an uptick in traffic congestion and poor air quality.

Promoting Interdisciplinary Exchange The fourth annual Alliance Summer School in Sciences and Policy, created to “promote interdisciplinary exchanges between doctoral students at Alliance institutions researching the nexus of science and policy,” was held in Paris from June 30 to July 8. This year’s focus was on the “nexus of energy, water, and food systems.” Organized by Anouch Missirian, Carolyn Hayek, Justin Ho, Xueting Wang, and Jason Wong, it featured several SIPA faculty, including John Mutter, Jeffrey Sachs, and Scott Barrett, and was funded in part by SIPA and The Earth Institute.

CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS AND POLICY THE SIPA CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS AND POLICY (CDEP) SUPPORTS MICROECONOMIC RESEARCH TO INVESTIGATE the sources of poverty and to inform practical interventions to address them. The 2014–2015 academic year was one of great growth for CDEP, with the addition of a new initiative (“Politics, Institutions, and Conflict”), the inaugural year of a new grant program, and a number of high-profile events.

New Initiative Launched on “Politics, Institutions, and Conflict”

CDEP affiliate Chris Blattman is leading the Politics, Institutions, and Conflict Initiative, which includes projects on the following topics:

The Politics, Institutions, and Conflicts Initiative sees conflict and disorder as one of the greatest threats to development and the development of good government as a means to economic prosperity as well as an important end in itself. But what is “good government” and how does it come about, both historically and in the modern day? What causes conflict, and what policies and interventions can move violent fighting into the realm of peaceful political competition?

PICKER CENTER FOR EXECUTIVE EDUCATION IN 2014–2015, THE PICKER CENTER TRAINED OVER 250 EXECUTIVES REPRESENTING MORE THAN 20 COUNTRIES. PARTICIPANTS TRAVELED from Brazil, China, France, Ghana, India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Panama, Spain, and beyond to receive training in the areas of macroeconomics, finance, and public policy management. This year the Picker Center celebrated the 11th anniversary of its long-standing partnership with the 92nd St. Y and the Ford Foundation in training nonprofit managers across the globe. In addition to its recurring programs, the Picker Center designed an additional custom program for the Inter-American Development Bank as well as several new programs with Minsheng Academy in Beijing, the Environmental Protection Department of Hangzhou Province, and the Mayor’s Office of Rio de Janeiro.

Technology and Innovation in the Public Service Conference The Picker Center held a major international conference on July 13 and 14 on Technology and Innovation in the Public Service, uniting leading scholars and practitioners from city government in Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Mumbai, and Beijing.

The two-day event featured opening remarks

by SIPA Dean Merit E. Janow and Professor Safwan Masri, executive vice president of the Columbia Global Centers, as well as speakers from across the Columbia network and various international public management experts. Professor Saskia Sassen delivered the keynote luncheon address on issues faced by global cities and the role of technology in this context.

The conference featured five new audiovisual case studies from the Picker Center’s Case Collection, filmed on location in Brazil, India, and the United States (see below).

For more information on cases, speakers, and to watch the full conference stream, visit the conference website: www.sipagovtech2015.org

Picker Center Case Collection As part of the Global EMPA project, the Picker Center Digital Education Group has produced a series of audiovisual case studies, which focus on issues of public sector management and innovation around the world. Developed as part of a President’s Global Innovation Fund Award project, the cases highlight the use of big data, sustainable practices, and public-private partnerships in the areas of public health, education, and urban governance. They consist of both traditional written case studies and audiovisual films and allow students to connect through important issues.

In 2014–2015, the Picker Center produced case studies on the use of “Big Data” in New York City government, including

interviews with NYPD Police Commissioner William Bratton and leading experts; “Digital India,” with Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor of Economics, Law, and International Relations at Columbia; “PublicPrivate Partnerships for Green Spaces in NYC” with Steven Cohen, executive director of The Earth Institute and a professor in the practice of public affairs at Columbia SIPA; “eDoctors” on health reform and the potential for remote medical services; and “Schools of Tomorrow?,” a comparative case looking at school reform and the charter school movement in NYC, Rio de Janeiro, and Mumbai, India.

The cases in the collection have been used both in online classes as part of the Global EMPA program and also in faceto-face classes at SIPA. In 2015–2016, the Picker Center Digital Education Group plans to continue to work with leading SIPA faculty to develop and produce new cases in the collection.

CROSS-CUTTING INITIATIVES 2014–2015

TECH & POLICY @ SIPA SIPA HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND AND deepen the activities of the Tech & Policy @ SIPA initiative, which was launched last year. The initiative cuts across SIPA’s core subject areas and draws upon faculty from across Columbia University. In addition, it engages a broad network of experts in government, the private sector, and the nongovernmental communities.

By creating workshops and courses on new digital technology, nurturing organizations that are building novel, tech-based solutions to pressing policy problems, and supporting cutting-edge policy research, SIPA is further establishing itself as an interdisciplinary hub of global engagement and research on technology and public policy.

CURRICULUM SIPA has launched new courses and workshops on important technology and policy issues and technology-related skills. These courses include a colloquium on “Technology and the Future of Governance and Public Policy”; “Internet Technology, Economics, and Policy”; “Communications Policy in the Digital Age”; “Dynamics of Cyber Power and Conflict”; “Data Visualization and Infographics”; “Technology Solutions for Development and Social Change”; “Technology, National Security, and the Citizen”; and “Programming for Entrepreneurs.”

PROMOTING MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH With support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, SIPA is supporting collaboration with faculty across Columbia and with scholars and practitioners from around the world on critical issues in Internet governance and cybersecurity policy.

SIPA welcomed several experienced research scholars and practitioners in cybersecurity and Internet policy, including Dr. Herbert Lin of Stanford University; Andrew McLaughlin, a former deputy chief technology officer at the White House; Alec Ross, the former special adviser for innovation to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and Jason Healey, a cyber conflict expert with experience at the Defense Department and Air Force, Goldman Sachs, and the White House.

SIPA is supporting the research of six junior faculty and PhD students working on topics such as the impact of high-speed broadband

on an American city, “patriot hackers,” cooperation in cyberspace, and other topics.

DEAN’S PUBLIC POLICY CHALLENGE GRANT Inaugurated in spring 2014, the Dean’s Public Policy Challenge Grant promotes the use of information and communications technology and/or advanced data analytics to find solutions to urban problems around the globe. The program involves a year of intensive support and coaching from a community of mentors and experts, culminating in a monetary award in the total of $50,000 to the winning student teams.

The winners of the competition’s first round were PaisaBack, a program that uses mobile technology to strengthen urban health care policy initiatives in India, and Terranga, a peer-to-peer mobile app that enables underemployed locals to become tour guides for international travelers in Latin America. These student-led teams gave presentations on their projects at an event on February 19. In April 2015, the winners of the second round were announced at Columbia’s Universitywide Entrepreneurship Festival. The winners were RemitMas, a money transfer service for Latino immigrants, and Spokey, a hub for organizations to turn their vacant spaces into unique venues in New York City.

EVENTS AND CONFERENCES SIPA welcomed a number of guests ranging from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to New York City officials to share their experiences and challenges working at the intersection of technology and public policy. Some highlights include: A Fireside Chat with Eric Schmidt October 30, 2014 Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google, participated in a discussion that revolved around his new book, How Google Works, and the importance of government and policy in creating the environment for innovation to occur.

The Future of Internet Governance November 24, 2014 Fadi Chehade, CEO and president of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), reviewed the changing Internet governance landscape and looked ahead to likely shifts.

CROSS-CUTTING INITIATIVES 2014–2015

RACE AND POLICY DIVERSITY IS A KEY STRENGTH OF SIPA, ONE THAT INFORMS OUR STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCE AND STUDY OF POLICY ISSUES AROUND the world. As we embrace our international diversity, we also acknowledge other equally important differences such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. Mindful of this, SIPA has formally committed to address these issues in ways that help our students to become better leaders. To this effect, two main initiatives were launched in 2014-2015 at SIPA.

Diversity Task Force The Diversity Task Force was convened by Dean Merit E. Janow to support the efforts of SIPA faculty, staff, and student organizations in fostering a community at SIPA that is welcoming, respectful of individual and group differences, and representative of our society.

The Task Force advises the dean and her leadership team on efforts to support greater diversity at SIPA on a range of topics, including improving recruitment of students of color, identifying scholarships for students from historically underrepresented communities to attend SIPA, and addressing specific concerns of students of color in career planning.

Dean’s Seminar Series on Race and Policy In January 2015, SIPA inaugurated the Dean’s Seminar Series on Race and Policy to engage prominent authors, commentators, and academic leaders in an ongoing public seminar about race,

injustice, and public policy. The Dean’s Seminar Series is a forum for thoughtful discussion and engagement by the SIPA community and, more broadly, seeks to address challenges related to race and public policy, nationally and globally.

Inaugural Lecture—The Death of Contingency: Risk, Race, and Rue January 28, 2015 Patricia Williams, James L. Dohr Professor of Law at Columbia Law School In her talk, Patricia Williams encouraged listeners to focus attention on understanding the consequences of the complex technological innovations that have enabled profiling in law enforcement that “preidentifies us and is in tension with some of jurisprudential models we grow up with,” which represents a fundamental reordering of jurisprudence in New York City and places like it.

Racial Justice Leadership Institute Workshop

Ben Jealous, former president of the NAACP

February 20, 2015

Ben Jealous discussed how technology could be used to solve lasting social problems and emphasized the importance of entrepreneurship. “We have to stop seeing entrepreneurism as something you do after college,” he said. “We have to see it as training people in high school. Obviously college helps. [But] most of the smartest people I know never finished college, and we need to understand that.”

SIPA students participated in interactive training designed to build a clear understanding and language around diversity, equity, equality, racism, and justice.
