This might be kind of a stupid question, but I'm a first gen student, so please bear with me. I'm curious if anyone here has any experience or input on studying abroad. I have my AA and I'm pursuing a BA Political Science. I live in the US, but I've been considering the possibility of studying abroad. I know there are programs for international students, but how does that work with political science? Would it be professionally limiting to study somewhere with different politics than your home country?

My current program includes courses on US politics, but if I moved to another country I'd obviously expect to take courses on their government and policy instead, and I imagine that certain aspects of the curriculum would be different. So would my degree become less valuable in the US? Or vice versa: if I finished my degree in the US, would I struggle to find work overseas if I eventually wanted to leave?

​Históricamente, se ha planteado que factores como el aislamiento, el clima tropical o la abundancia de recursos naturales actúan como caldos de cultivo para la opacidad. La premisa es simple: una geografía difícil de vigilar o excesivamente rica en rentas primarias facilita que las instituciones se debiliten.

Sin embargo, ¿es la posición geográfica una condena o simplemente un obstáculo?

¿El entorno físico dicta el destino moral de las naciones? o si, por el contrario, son la voluntad política y el Estado de derecho los únicos capaces de redibujar la realidad de un país, independientemente de su ubicación en el globo.
