America: US Jobs and Factories on the Move.
Workshop Description: Technological innovation and the congruence of
diverse political systems into liberal democracies offer hope for a 21st
century of equal opportunity and freedom around the world. Yet, the
threats to this release of human ingenuity are serious, such as the
subordination of local resources to global agendas, with weakened
national democracies unable to respond to expectations of their
electorates. The workshop builds skills that are necessary to analyze
these contrasts and to develop public policy alternatives.
