SPEA in Barcelona
Spend four weeks studying Policy, Governance, and Management in Barcelona Spain at the Universitat Pompeau Fabra and the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals. A city famous for its combination of climate, culture, history, and art, Barcelona is one of the few places in the world where one can find, in a single location, the full range of global complexity in governance combined with case examples of innovation being played out simultaneously on a transnational, national, sub-state, regional, and local scale. In a strategic position on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona is a modern metropolis marked by architectural beauty, traditional markets and religious symbolism.
