GLOBALIZATION- Governments, Corporations & the Individual in the 21st Century
On March 17th at 5:30PM, Westminster College's International Economics program will host Jonathan Duncan to an evening exploring the social, environmental and political consequences of globalization. "To a large extent the phenomenon of globalization is the defining characteristic of our age," states Duncan. "Whether you are a farmer in Africa, a bond trader in London, or a steel worker in Pittsburgh, your life is impacted more and more by the trends of international economic integrations. Not everyone is fairing the same in this global competition."
Duncan's lecture is broken down into three sections exploring globalization influence on: 1) Democracy and the Individual, 2) Resources and the Environment, and 3) The Future of Nations. Following the lecture Duncan and Dr. Michael Mamo, Director of the College's International Business Program, will field questions and provide differing views on the economic imperatives of global trade and the benefits of a globalized financial system.
