    • Abstract:
      About 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a bus carrying an erudite group of passengers departed a Midtown hotel bound for Columbia University. Aboard were university presidents from institutions as far away as Bangkok and Qatar. They had convened in Manhattan for a conference focusing on the global surge in the population of young people. As they filled the bus that morning, few of the scholars seemed to notice the absence of one of their better-known colleagues, Richard Descoings, who had been with the group the evening before. In any event, the bus did not wait for Mr. Descoings, the leader of a distinguished French university, the Paris Institute of Political Studies, better known as Sciences Po. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
