Transcripts

Paul Collier,
Joanne J. Myers
|
01/07/08
|
Global poverty is falling, but a minority of developing countries are stagnant and diverging from the rest of mankind, says Collier, which is a danger to global stability. He identifies four poverty traps and in this talk focuses on one of them--resource riches.
|
John Bowe,
Joanne J. Myers
|
10/17/07
|
Do labor abuse and outright slavery still exist in the United States? Yes, says John Bowe, who travels from Florida to U.S.-owned Saipan to investigate modern global slave labor.
|
Philippe Legrain,
Joanne J. Myers
|
09/10/07
|
It's inevitable that more and more people will move across borders, says Philippe Legrain, and rather than put obstacles in their way, we should welcome them. They do the jobs we can't or won't do and their diversity enriches us all.
|
Ethan B. Kapstein,
Joel H. Rosenthal
|
11/01/06
|
In a lively session, Ethan Kapstein proposes just what the international community can reasonably do to build a global economy that will be fairer to all.
|
Joseph E. Stiglitz,
Joanne J. Myers
|
10/05/06
|
Stiglitz offers new thinking about the questions that shape the globalization debate, including a plan to restructure the global financial system, ideas for how countries can grow without degrading the environment, and a framework for free and fair global trade.
|
Shashi Tharoor,
Ruth Wedgwood,
James Traub,
Joanne J. Myers
|
06/12/06
|
Is the UN "I" for irrelevant, or "I" for indispensable, as Shashi Tharoor would have it? While conceding that the UN is relevant, Ruth Wedgwood argues that "competing multilaterals" should also play a role in solving the world's problems. This witty but deeply serious debate will give both sides of the argument food for thought.
|
Jan Eliasson,
Joanne J. Myers
|
06/07/06
|
H.E. Mr. Jan Eliasson discusses recent steps forward at the U.N., such as the creation of the Peacebuilding Commission, the Central Emergency Fund, and the Human Rights Council.
|
Joseph E. Stiglitz,
Joanne J. Myers
|
04/03/06
|
In a new book (co-authored with Andrew Charlton), Stiglitz details what a trade agreement might look like if based on principles of economic analysis and social justice for the world economy. He points to how less developed countries are disadvantaged in the negotiating process.
|
Stephen Lewis,
Joanne J. Myers
|
03/28/06
|
Lewis offers his personal, often searing, insider's account of the plight of Africa and Africans with AIDS--and the wealthy world's betrayal.
|
Sir Emyr Jones Parry,
Joanne J. Myers
|
01/12/06
|
The UK ambassador to the UN describes the positive rethinking of development policy that occurred in 2005 and the need to make 2006 the year for action. He touches on the issues of aid, trade, UN reform, harmonization among donor organizations, and the struggle against corruption.
|
Philip J. Hilts,
Joanne J. Myers
|
11/29/05
|
Hilts warns that the emergence of new diseases and the resurgence of old ones has put the world on the brink of a global health crisis. Yet we have more than enough technology and funds to bring about a golden age of public health. What's the missing element?
|
Moisés Naím,
Joanne J. Myers
|
11/09/05
|
The counterfeit trade is worth 630 billion dollars a year, including fake airplane parts, medicines and even gas stations, and growth in trading people, arms and drugs is equally staggering.
|
Benjamin M. Friedman,
Joanne J. Myers
|
10/27/05
|
Friedman argues that economic growth is a prerequisite for the creation of a liberal, open society. He contends that periods of robust economic growth encourage tolerance, democracy and generous public support for the poor, while economic stagnation and insecurity result in the very opposite.
|
Mary Robinson,
Kemal Dervis,
Stephen Macedo,
Gideon Rose
|
10/26/05
|
A distinguished panel outlines the problems of growing inequality caused by globalization and proposes practical solutions.
|
Andrew Kuper,
Peter Singer
|
09/19/05
|
Who has the responsibility to alleviate poverty and uphold human rights in a globalized world where corporations often wield more power than nation-states?
Audios
The plight of the bottom billion is often viewed by ordinary citizens in the West as an issue too remote--and too intractable--to be solved. In reality, however, this is far from the truth. What can and should we do to improve the situation?
Do labor abuse and outright slavery still exist in the United States? John Bowe travels from Florida to U.S.-owned Saipan to investigate modern global slave labor.

What do Western oil companies need to do to sustain both profits and peace?
With Washington's reputation as a leader on human rights gravely damaged by abuses committed in its five-year-old "global war on terror," who will fill the vacuum?

Ethan B. Kapstein

What can the international community do to build a global economy that will benefit all?

The counterfeit trade is worth 630 billion dollars a year and it’s not just fashion items. There are fake airplane parts, medicines and even gas stations. Growth in trading people, arms and drugs is equally staggering. Technology has proved a boon not only to international terrorist groups but also to black-market networks, which are organized in remarkably similar ways.
