Middle East

The Middle-East region is not a geographical region per se but an area where the three continents (Africa, Asia, Europe) meet. There are therefore no natural borders that differentiate the limits of the region. We consider that the Middle East region regroups all the countries of the arabian peninsula as well as Turkey. It is a region that becoming more and more important in the worldwide economy. This region is mostly known for the abundance of natural resources, in particular oil, however the opportunities are present in other sectors.

turkey


Turkey is a country which lies between Europe and Asia, it is country that has few opportunities for Sciences Po students especially in NGO’s and in diplomacy. Indeed, other sectors are not necessarily open to foreign individuals in order to give a priority for the access to the job market for the locals. Indeed, Turkish Authorities make sure that the foreigner is taking a job that cannot be done by a Turkish citizen. Therefore, the objective for Sciences Po students is to target international companies and organizations such as UNHCR, AFP etc. and the Ministry of foreign Affairs.
