International Affairs

The Standing Panel on International Affairs focuses on the National Academy's role in the international community. It considers a broad range of issues, such as: assisting in the development of democratic institutions in transitional democracies throughout the world; addressing public management challenges in developing countries; examining the management of the U.S. government's international activities; and promoting information sharing on promising practices in public management. The Panel works with global counterparts (scholars, practitioners, institutions) to develop learning from comparing approaches to common "local" impacts of common 21st century global challenges.
