Payson center gave me a better understanding of how Law and policy are viable tools in sustainable human development especially in emerging economies. The course supported the assertion that not all foreign investment opportunities are actual investments. Some investments might yield some financial gain for the present but also environmental and socio-economic woes for the future generation. I enjoyed my courses with Dr. Kelly and Buhr as especially the presentation class on sustainability and development based off the book Jurassic park with Prof. Crawford. He geared us towards practical analysis to explore both the pros and cons of foreign investments in emerging nations and be able to make the best decision not based on the present but also for future generations. I will highly recommend payson center especially for nationals of emerging economies as well as for anyone interested in making an impact in international development. An emerging country national will benefit alot and have additional insight into the problems we currently facing in emerging countries and practical solutions to make a difference especially in governance and community interventions.
