The IDEV Intersession Field Practicum 2010 – El Salvador was a six month learning activity organized and sponsored by the International Development Program (IDEV) at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). The centerpiece of the Field Practicum was a two week visit to El Salvador by 11 IDEV master’s students from January 3-15, 2010. Professor Frank Fukuyama, senior faculty and IDEV director, and Brian Norris, junior faculty, Seth Colby, Director of the Schwartz Forum on Constructive Capitalism, and Federico Qüerio, Practicum Student Coordinator led the visit.
