Globalization Initiative
NDN’s Globalization Initiative was established to promote economic growth and restore broad-based prosperity in our globalized economy. Chaired by Dr. Robert Shapiro, U.S. Under Secretary for Commerce under President Bill Clinton, the program works toward modernizing our healthcare and energy policies; investing in 21st century skills for our workers and students, rebuilding America’s infrastructure; and accelerating innovation across the economy. NDN also plays a major role in the debate over how to best manage the ever-deepening recession and the crises impacting our housing and financial markets.
Features
It looks as though we will have to settle for a debate over a Supreme Court nomination that's likely to be as incoherent and enervating as the recent public discussions of the great economic issues of our time.
We can address these adverse effects without sacrificing the benefits of globalization and technological advance, principally by expanding public investments in critical areas and reforming health care and energy policies.
