When United Nations Se c re t a ry - Ge n e r a lKofi Annan came to The Fletcher Schoolcommencement to speak about globalwarming, it was not his first address on thesubject — indeed, it was the third time hehad spoken about the issue this ye a r.

But aided by the uproar over Pre s i d e n tGeorge W. Bu s h’s recently-announced energyplan and a carefully-crafted speech thatberated the administration for its position on

global warming, his appearance generatedheadlines around the globe.

The pre-speech preparations we ree x t e n s i ve. A special microphone was used topick up eve ry decibel of the Se c re t a ry -Ge n e r a l’s resonant but soft voice. An informaln ews conference was inserted into Annan’sa l ready-tight schedule so that re p o rters couldask follow-up questions.

Fo l l owing welcoming re m a rks by De a nStephen W. Bosworth, commencement kickedoff with a series of special presentations. Mi c h a e lA. Hammer (F’87) re c e i ved the Ed w a rd R.Mu r row Aw a rd for Excellence in Pu b l i cDiplomacy for his political commentary work asAssistant Press Se c re t a ry for the Na t i o n a lSecurity Council. After his acceptance speech,the Ro b e rt B. St ew a rt Pr i ze for an Ou t s t a n d i n gFi r s t - Year Fletcher Student was awarded toAkshay Ma d h a van (F’02), a graduate of Oh i oWesleyan Un i ve r s i t y. After the cere m o n y,A k s h a y, an active participant in theA m b a s s a c h o rds, the Diplomat Ball Committee,and Fletcher intramural soccer, said, “I’ve beenlucky to be invo l ved in numerous activities atthe school... and also take some really fantastic,e ye-opening classes.” Susan Banki (F’01), lastye a r’s recipient of the Ro b e rt B. St ew a rt Pr i ze ,was again re c o g n i zed for her academice xcellence and much-appreciated contributionsto the Fletcher community with the Edmund A.

Gullion Pr i ze for an Outstanding Se c o n d - Ye a rFletcher Student. “My classmates at Fletcher fillme with humility,” Susan said later, “because ofthe depth and breadth of their experiences. I feelh o n o red to have been chosen for an award thatcould have gone to so many deserving others.”

It seems like just ye s t e rday that I heard a Fletcher alumna speak at an undergraduate career night in central Ohio and decided to apply to

The Fletcher School. Ac t u a l l y, it was nearly tenyears ago, and I find it hard to believe that it’s allover now. Much has changed since our days ofplaying icebreaker games and running home toconsult the Fa c e b o o k after major events, so as notto forget the names of the many interesting peoplewe met each day. We now have differe n tp e r s p e c t i ves, fresh experiences, and a broader baseof knowledge with which to pursue our goals. T h eFletcher School 68th Commencement Exe rcises onMay 20, 2001, while bittersweet for the many ofus leaving behind friends and acquaintances,m a rked the end of two fabulous years for gra d u a t e sf rom over 50 different countries.

Commencement 2001 was not full of thepomp and circumstance characteristic of manygraduation exe rcises. The presenters did notspend a great deal of time extolling the specialqualities of the “Fletcher community,” nor didthey avoid controversial topics in order tomaintain a “politically corre c t” atmosphere .Instead, the ceremony celebrated ouraccomplishments as individuals whose plans forthe future are as diverse as our backgro u n d s .The speakers reminded us of the importance ofusing our knowledge of the world and skills thatwe have acquired at Fletcher to lead fulfillingl i ves and affect change. While it is important tomaintain a climate of respect and cooperation inpolicy making, by no means should import a n tgoals be sacrificed to political posturing. T h i sidea was particularly prominent in thegraduation address by His Excellency Ko f iAnnan, Se c re t a ry - General of the Un i t e dNa t i o n s .

Ul r i kAhnfeldt Mo l l e rup (F’01) re c e i ved honorablemention for his continued invo l vement with theJessup Moot Court competition andp a rticipation in law courses. This was followe dby the James L. Paddock Teaching Aw a rd, give nto Professor Alan Wachman (F’84) for hise xcellent classroom performance and re s e a rc hre c o rd in the areas of diplomatic history andEast Asia. Fi n a l l y, Bill Miller (F’01) pre s e n t e dthe Class of 2001 Gift, over $2000 for the re -upholstering of couches in the Ginn LibraryReading Room. The Class of 2001 set a newre c o rd of participation at 54 percent.

Gregg Nakano (F’01) took the stage afterthe presentation of the Class Gift to sum upsome of the class’s experiences and wish us all afond farewell. After sharing a few fun storieswith the audience and commenting on thesignificance of love and basic human kindnessin international relations and life in general,Gregg re m a rked that the Class of 2001 has hadexperiences that 99% of the world cannot eve nimagine. He encouraged us to appreciate fullythe friends and connections made at Fl e t c h e rand urged us to “look to your left, look to yo u rright, and embrace your newfound family. ”

The highlight of commencement was themuch-anticipated address by UN Se c re t a ry -General Kofi Annan. Rather than speakingsolely about the bright futures of the more than150 graduates seated in front of him, Annantook the opportunity to make a major addre s son global warming and climate change.After reminiscing about time he spent as astudent at the MIT Sloan School ofManagement, the Se c re t a ry - General launched

into an engaging and informative speech on theresponsibility of major powers, including theUnited States, to uphold internationale n v i ronmental standards and conve n t i o n s ,p a rticularly the Kyoto Protocol. Annanexplained that global warming and climatechange we re perhaps the gravest problems facingthe world today, and that time was running outif countries hoped to find suitable andsustainable solutions. He urged 2001 graduatesto take advantage of their Fletcher degre e s ,which he emphasized provide us with “the toolswith which to help the internationalcommunity pass not only the climate changetest, but the many others we must facet o g e t h e r.” He underscored this idea in thef o l l owing closing re m a rk s :

As you collect your we l l - e a rn e dd e g rees, allow me to wish you a life inwhich you can take full pleasure in then a t u ral environment, while re c o g n i z i n gthe urgent need to pre s e rve it. I wishyou eve ry success, from business tofamily life, while encouraging you to bea w a re of the public implications of yo u rp r i vate pursuits. Most of all, I wish yo ulong and re w a rding lives in yo u rcommunities, while hoping that thei n t e rnational community will alsobenefit from your talents and ideas.

The Se c re t a ry - General was not alone in hiswishes for the graduating class. Hu n d reds ofp a rents, siblings, spouses, children, and friendswe re also present to cheer for members of theClass of 2001 as we crossed the stage andaccepted our diplomas.

Because the Se c re t a ry - Ge n e r a l’s speechcontained criticisms of the Bu s hAdministration that we re couched indiplomatic language, William Mo o m a w,p rofessor of international enviro n m e n t a lp o l i c y, drew up an exhaustive memo onglobal warming that was distributed tore p o rt e r s .

The local media turnout in Boston wasve ry high, even though there we re othergraduations going on that day at nearbyBrandeis Un i ve r s i t y, Smith College, BostonUn i ve r s i t y, Simmons College, and Su f f o l kUn i versity Law School. Re p o rters andphotographers came from two wire services –the Associated Press and Reuters – along withre p o rters from The Boston Gl o b e, T h eChristian Science Mo n i t o r, The Boston He ra l dand the New England Cable Ne w s.

News coverage of the speech took off withlightning speed. The New Yo rk Ti m e s ran thes t o ry in its international edition. The BostonGl o b e put the story on page 1. Thanks to thew i re service re p o rts, the story was picked upby The Washington Po s t, The Ph i l a d e l p h i aIn q u i re r, De n ve r’s Rocky Mountain Ne w s a n dDe n ver Po s t, The San Diego Un i o n - Tr i b u n e,The Ar i zona Re p u b l i c, and scores of otherpapers across the country. CNN and theBBC also carried news of the speech in theirb ro a d c a s t s .

The communications staffs at the UNand Fletcher targeted the enviro n m e n t a lp ress. The En v i ronmental News Se rvice andGre e n w i re both carried stories, and NPR’s“This Living Eart h” ran excerpts of Annan’sa d d re s s .

Meanwhile, editorial writers, columnists,and readers all weighed in on the speech. Fo rexample, an editorial in The Cape Cod Ti m e spraised the Se c re t a ry - General for“a p p ro p r i a t e l y” challenging the Bu s hAdministration. By contrast, Da v i dLimbaugh of The Washington Ti m e sp o rt r a yed Kofi Annan as a shill for theDemocratic National Committee. One iratere a d e r, sounding off in a letter to the Da l l a sMo rning Ne w s, called Annan’s speech “f a l s e ,e x t remist, and dangerously misleading.”

Fi n a l l y, in a reflection of the deepconcerns about global warming in countriesoutside the United States, the speech waspicked up by outlets ranging from T h eShanghai St a r to The Ottawa Ci t i ze n to T h eIn d e p e n d e n t in Dhaka, Ba n g l a d e s h .

Perhaps the most poignant mediamoment at the graduation came when ana l e rt Re u t e r s’ photographer got a shot of theSe c re t a ry - General, flanked by Dean St e p h e nB o s w o rth, shaking hands with graduateDulce Carrillo who was carrying her 15-month-old daughter, Kari Carrillo-Klein, inher arms. The photo was picked up by anumber of newspapers around the world.

This spring, the Xe rox Fo u n d a t i o nannounced it will re n ew a grant of$85,000 for scholarships to GMAPstudents from developing countriesfor the 2001-2002 academic ye a r.GMAP – Fl e t c h e r’s Global Ma s t e rof Arts Program – uses distance-learning technology to address theneeds of mid- to high-leve lp rofessionals who are unable to takea full year off from work to pursue agraduate degree. Cu r rently amongthe GMAP students are four Xe roxGlobal Scholars, professionals fro md e veloping countries who re c e i ve dscholarships from the Xe roxFoundation for this academic ye a r,also worth $85,000 in total.

The Xe rox Global Scholars are justcompleting their one-year pro g r a m ,but they have been applyingk n owledge acquired thro u g hGMAP since their coursew o rkbegan. Narith Chhim is a Gl o b a lScholar and Un d e r s e c re t a ry of St a t efor the Mi n i s t ry of Commerce ofCambodia. He is preparing histhesis on “Strategies to Pro m o t eFo reign Di rect In vestments and theRole of Cambodia.” “It is amazing,”

notes Narith, who works in Ph n o mPenh while taking GMAP courses,“ h ow much I have learned and amable to use in my daily work righta w a y.” Xueman Wang, anotherscholarship recipient, echoes Na r i t h ,o b s e rving that her overall skills havei m p roved in the course of thep rogram. Xueman, an economist,says that the improvements re f l e c tin her work: “I can feel incre a s i n gconfidence in my work due toG M A P.” As Programme Officer forthe Se c retariat of the U.N.Fr a m ew o rk Convention on ClimateChange in Bonn, Ge r m a n y, shefocuses on enviro n m e n t a ldiplomacy and trade issues; she iswriting her thesis on theimplementation regime under theKyoto Protocol to the ClimateChange Conve n t i o n .

G M A P ’s goal is to educate “n ewi n t e r n a t i o n a l i s t s” – experiencedpeople who work for businesses,g overnments, and internationalorganizations and who understandthe need to navigate the nexusb e t ween the public and priva t esectors. The pro g r a m’s focus on thisnexus distinguishes it from othergraduate programs in business and

international affairs, since Fl e t c h e rp romotes a distinctive sense ofg overnmental and corporate socialre s p o n s i b i l i t y. Xueman notes thatthe multidisciplinary program hashelped her to formulatec o m p re h e n s i ve views on va r i o u sissues. Similarly for Sh a r m i l aSrikanth, an econometrician andFe l l ow at In d i a’s Tata En e r g yRe s e a rch Institute in New De l h i ,GMAP has enhanced herk n owledge of economics, finance,and technical issues. The pro g r a m ,she notes, “is building mynegotiation, implementation,l e a d e r s h i p, and management skills...(GMAP has) enabled me to balancemy life pro f e s s i o n a l l y, academically,and personally, especially given mypersonal status as the mother of anine-month-old baby.” Sharmila isc u r rently finishing her thesis“ Paradigm for En v i ro n m e n t a lIssues: Multilateral Treaties vs.In d u s t ry Agreement.”

The fourth Xe rox Global Scholar isIreti (Akin) Soetan, Se n i o rCounselor of Economic Affairs andHead of Chancery for the Em b a s s yof Nigeria in Seoul, Ko rea. Akin isanother example of the type of

m u l t i d i s c i p l i n a ry pro f e s s i o n a lGMAP is designed to attract. He iswriting his master’s thesis on “Tr a d ePolicy and De velopment: The Caseof Nigeria and Ko rea.”

Xe rox’s financial support of theGlobal Scholars is, at this point,critical to ensure that internationalaffairs professionals fro md e veloping countries will be able topursue a Fletcher degree thro u g hG M A P. “Without the Xe roxScholarship I would not have beenable to join GMAP,” says Na r i t h ,testifying to the importance of aidf rom Xe rox for the Global Scholarsp rogram. Xueman believes that hadXe rox not given her theo p p o rtunity to enter GMAP, herabilities “would have become moreand more narrow,” and she wouldh a ve been “insulated from theoutside world.”

Narith, Xueman, Sharmila, andAkin will be joining the rest of theClass of 2000-2001 in July for thep ro g r a m’s third residency inMe d f o rd. They will graduate at thefirst GMAP commencement onJuly 21.

John Curtis Perry Fellowship Announced by Bonnie R. Clendenning (F’86)

Surrounded by more than eighty family, friends,alumni, and current students from around theworld, Professor John Curtis Perry smilinglysaluted the audience at the lively reception in hishonor that kicked off Fletcher’s reunion andcommencement weekend this May.

Holding a photographic tribute to the NorthPacific Program created by Mike O’Dougherty(F’87) as a souvenir, the guests laughed andapplauded at the toasts offered by Dulce Carillo(F’01) from the students, Kate Ryan (F’87) andLis Tarlow (F’84) from the alumni, and SungYoon Lee (F’94) from the faculty.

Dean Bosworth then presented ProfessorPerry with a framed inscription, with handsomecalligraphy by Professor Alan Wachman (F’84),announcing the establishment of the JohnCurtis Perry Fellowship, “to honor and celebratethe manifold contributions of an inspiringteacher, an exemplary scholar, and anindefatigable mentor and guide.”

Assistant Professor Lee’s heartfelt speechcompared the guest of honor to Confucius,

2500 years ago, “one of the greatest teachershumankind has ever known, at the height of hisintellectual prowess in his early seventies,” andquoted that eminent Chinese scholar: “At theage of fifteen I set my heart on learning; atthirty I took my stand; at forty I came to be freeof doubts; at fifty I understood the Decree ofheaven; at sixty my years were attuned; atseventy I could follow the dictates of my heart

without transgressing the boundaries of rightand wrong.”

Professor Lee humorously spoke of his dualrole as Professor Perry’s former student and nowas a faculty colleague: “Professor Perry, you areomnipresent in our worlds. Not a single daypasses by without thinking of you, as I strut andfret about the classroom facing my ownstudents. I invoke your face, your voice, and askmyself, ‘How would Professor Perry articulatethis?’...Over the years I have been privileged tobe privy to so many memorable sayings, so

many beautiful words of wisdom, I could surelywrite the ‘Analects of John Curtis Perry.’”

Kate Ryan, wearing a Japanese head wrap,described the lasting memories and impressionsof the international scholars and students whoparticipated in the North Pacific Program, heldannually from 1984 to 1996 in locationsaround the world. Lis Tarlow read a few of thetributes that poured in from those who couldnot be present that evening but who wished torecord their own fond recollections of one ofFletcher’s most popular professors. "We all havememories of Professor Perry lecturing onCommodore Mathew Perry and his Black Ship‘opening’ Japan. Yet through the years I’ve cometo realize the powerful metaphor at work inProfessor Perry’s classroom. John Perry, like hisnamesake, was on his own voyage of explorationopening previously unmapped lands to newinfluences. His Black Ship was the classroom;his Japan was our minds; and we have neverbeen the same," wrote William Jarosz (F’85).

Replying to applause and cheers from hismany admirers, Professor Perry assured theaudience that he was far from retiring andlooked forward to many more years at TheFletcher School. His most recent project is anew course on oceanic history, the GreatOceanic Revolution, and he looks forward totraveling to Asia this year to introduce the deanto the school’s alumni and friends in the area.(Alumni can e-mail the alumni relationscoordinator for schedule information, atmegan.brachtl@tufts.edu.) Betsy Rowe (F’83)reminds readers that it is not too late to send acontribution to the Perry Fund endowment, agift that will not only be counted in the FletcherCampaign but which will benefit generations offuture Fletcher students.

students, some ofwhom received

“Last ye a r, my family and I move dto the Sonoran De s e rt for a month.We lived in the small town of Ajo,A r i zona, only 40 miles from theMexican border and just outside thec o u n t ry’s second largest Na t i veAmerican Re s e rvation. I was there toconduct interv i ews with a widerange of Mexicans, To h o n oO’odham Na t i ve Americans, and“A n g l o s” who had been invo l ved in atrinational conservation initiativeentitled the “International So n o r a nDe s e rt Alliance” (ISDA).

Only a few months later, we allpacked up again to the No rt h e r nRocky Mountains of the U.S. andCanada. T h e re, over a two-monthperiod, I interv i ewed Canadians andU.S. citizens about the “Ye l l ow s t o n eto Yukon Conservation In i t i a t i ve , ”dubbed Y2Y for short. Faithful tothe initiative’s name, we traveled upand down the “spine of thecontinent,” interv i ewing activistsand scientists about their effort top rotect grizzly bears, wolves, and there g i o n’s wilderness character.

The common thread betwe e nY2Y and ISDA is their origins incivil society. Tr a d i t i o n a l l y, gove r n -ments have been the key players inmost international conserva t i o ni n i t i a t i ves; in contrast, my two casestudies we re entirely differe n tphenomena, consisting of non-g overnmental international efforts top rotect the land and its wildlife, inwhich activists and citizens hadp l a yed both the formative andsustaining roles over the ye a r s .

My re s e a rch questions aboutISDA and Y2Y we re two-fold. Fi r s t ,in terms of the traditionalp e r s p e c t i ves on international

In Bri e f

relations, how do we characterizethese international efforts? Based onthe extensive literature oninternational regime theory, Ih y p o t h e s i zed that the re g i m ef r a m ew o rk applied equally – andsometimes even better – tot r a n s b o u n d a ry relations betwe e nn o n g overnmental actors. My secondquestion concerned the effective n e s sof these initiatives; did they actuallymake any difference on the gro u n d ?

After 64 interv i ews, one heldwhile conducting caribou ve g e t a t i o ns u rveys in British Columbia, oneheld after being hailed down byillegal immigrants crossing theU . S . / Mexico bord e r, and one held inNew Yo rk City with one of the mostp rominent grizzly bear biologists inthe country, I felt as though I hadenough data to get me through thep rocess of writing a dissert a t i o n .

Because of all the doors thatFletcher has opened for me, I havehad endless opportunities for extraw o rk and projects – all fodder ford i s s e rtation procrastination. Yet I’mn ow wading through the data,writing as fast as I can to graduate inMay 2002. As much as I’m lookingf o rw a rd to graduating, undoubtedlyone reason I have not ru s h e dt h rough the dissertation process hasbeen trepidation of leaving theintellectual environment ofFl e t c h e r. ”

The Fletcher News is currently the official news publication forThe Fletcher School. As such, it has attempted to be all things toall people, and in doing so has not fully succeeded. After a care-ful look at our constituents and their needs, the Office of Deve l-opment and Alumni Relations hopes to refocus the News on ourp r i m a ry readers: alumni, parents, and friends.

Alumni are the primary audience of this newsletter, and assuch, deserve special attention when choosing topics for art i c l e sand feature stories. Re c e n t l y, some alumni have voiced theiri n t e rest in more features about other alumni and what they havebeen doing since leaving Fletcher. Some others have stre s s e dthat they appreciate the publication but would like to see newsections and a different format.

We have heard you, and are beginning to reconsider thedesign, format, and topics cove red by the newsletter. In fact, inthis issue you will notice some changes, in particular the newPh.D. Pro f i l e, the Recent Publications section, and the In Briefsection. By re a r ranging some of Fletcher’s latest news to fitwithin these sections, we hope to keep our re a d e r s ’i n t e rest andmake important information more easily accessible.

You will also note with this issue that the Fletcher in the Newsand N o t a b l e s sections have been re m oved. T h rough feedbackf rom alumni, we have come to re a l i ze that the information pre-sented in these sections can be better presented in new ways.Our media relations guru, Te r ry Ann Knopf, will help us in futureissues to convey to you the most important media-related eve n t sat Fletcher. Meanwhile, for a calendar of events that includesguest speakers, special lectures, panels, and roundtables, wehighly encourage you to visit Fletcher’s website ath t t p : / / w w w. f l e t c h e r.tufts.edu. In future issues of the newsletter,we will also highlight alumni who speak at the School.

As you can see, we are open to change and invite you to con-tinue offering feedback, especially on what you would like to seef e a t u red in the alumni newsletter – yo u r n e w s l e t t e r. Indeed,while the Office of Development and Alumni Relations has spe-cific news and information we would like you to know about, wea re ve ry interested in hearing from you and getting your ideas onh ow to make eve ry page of this newsletter a good re a d .

With all of this in mind, I hope you can find some time to re a dthis newsletter in its entirety, and share your thoughts withme. I can be reached at megan.brachtl@tufts.edu.

Best wishes to all, and keep in touch!
