The Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) was established in 2001 as part of the Milano School of International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy. As of 2019, it is now the Julien J. Studley Graduate Programs in International Affairs, and is organizationally separate from Milano within the Schools of Public Engagement.

This series contains a small amount of administrative, promotional, and curricular material. The bulk of the series is material from events and conferences sponsored by the GPIA. Also included are reports and promotional material from the Observatory on Latin America (OLA), a program that is dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of Latin America. Of note is a report co-authored by the former president of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Many of the materials pertaining to OLA are in English and Spanish.
