Talk to a Diplomat: Interview with Busra Karasu Part II

We’re back!

Listen as I interview Busra Hazal Karasu. She is the Program Editor of the Canadian Armed Forces here at the NATO Association of Canada. Busra completed her BA at McGill University in Political Science and Sociology with a focus on comparative politics and political psychology. Busra has international experience having spent two summers in Belgium interning at a Brussels-based law firm, which deepened her interest in European and international law and two summers in Istanbul as a EU Affairs Intern while working part-time at the Istanbul Jazz Festival. Before joining the NAOC team, she served as an intern at the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Ottawa. Busra is trilingual and her research interests include politics of ethnic relations and nationalism, Turkish foreign policy, and regional security in the Middle East.

Listen as Busra discusses her experience as a Junior Legal Intern in Belgium. This is where she undertook legal research, summarized and analyzed directives, anti-dumping investigation and cases in the areas of EU trade and customs law with special focus on anti-dumping, anti-subsidy, safeguards, and regulated Industries with specialization in product safety, chemicals, and standards.
