Global Dynamics (July 2 - 8)

Sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton


In the modern world, technology, economic enterprise, demographics, the environment, and political events in one region create ripple effects across the globe. How will private, nonprofit and civic, and government sectors work across boundaries and resolve conflicting priorities in an increasingly globalized and interdependent environment? How are alliances shifting? And how do such shifts affect the policies of the United States and other countries? This track will take a closer look at dynamics and demographics in Europe, global communications and the impact of new media, global economic integration, nuclear proliferation, terrorism, multilateral institutions, and conflict in the Middle East.
