Prosperity or Peril? The Next Phase of Globalization
April 17-18, 2009
The seventh annual Princeton Colloquium on Public and International Affairs, “Prosperity or Peril? The Next Phase of Globalization,” will be held on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18, 2009. Hosted by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (WWS), the Colloquium will explore the positive and negative effects of globalization on a world in which it has taken root and must be dealt with, for better or ill. The “Next Phase” accepts that globalization is now embedded into the fabric of world affairs, and must be factored into the decisions and policies that impact us all.
Keynotes and featured presenters include: Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations; Paul R. Krugman, Professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics; Tadataka (Tachi) Yamada, President of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Health Program; and Eric Schmidt '76, Chairman and CEO of Google Inc.
