November 3, 2004
7:00 PM Why Globalization Works, lecture and book
signing. Kane Hall, Room 110, UW Seattle campus. Speaker: Martin Wolf.
Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator and associate editor of the
Financial Times. He is also a visiting fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford,
and a special professor at the University of Nottingham. One of the
world’s most foremost economic commentators, he explains how globalization
works and why it makes sense. He dissects the position of globalization’s
critics, rebutting the arguments that it undermines sovereignty, weakens
democracy, intensifies inequality, favors exploitative multinational
corporations, and devastates the environment. Wolf shows that the biggest
obstacles to global economic progress—almost everywhere—have been the
failures not of the market, but of politics and policies. He suggests a
route towards a global market economy that works better, and for more
people, than ever before. For more information, please contact
tleonard@u.washington.edu
or call 206 685-2354. This event is free and open to the public.
Co-sponsored by The National Bureau of Asian Research, The Henry M.
Jackson School of International Studies, International Studies Center/JSIS,
University Bookstore, and the Jackson School of International Studies
Alumni.

Education Week 2004
The International Education Week (IEW) 2004 web site has been launched at
http://exchanges.state.gov/iew/. International Education Week is an
opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and
exchange worldwide. In 2003, IEW was celebrated in more than 85 countries.
This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S.
Department of Education is part of our effort to promote programs that
prepare Americans for global environment and attract future leaders from
abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States. We
encourage the participation of all individuals and institutions interested
in international education and exchange activities, including schools,
colleges and universities, embassies, international organizations,
businesses, and associations, and community organizations.
- To submit events, go to
http://65.113.70.41/iew/iew/?fuseaction=add_event1 and join the IEW
mailing list

Meeting the 21st century challenges that confront all countries
requires an unprecedented degree of understanding and cooperation among
nations and among leaders in every field. The professional partnerships
and lifelong friendships that result from international education and
exchange help build a foundation of understanding and lasting
partnerships. These partnerships are important for a secure, prosperous
future, not only for the United States, but also for the world as a whole.
