Foreign Affairs Discussion Group: A New World Order
Wednesday, May 21; 7:00-8:15 pm
Members: Free; non-members: $10

Instead he seems to be emulating the new Chinese order in opting for protectionism, subsidies, and authoritarian political control. What kind of new world order are we headed for and what can the west do to make it more sustainable and equitable?
