These come less from ideological and military confrontations than from economic and political strains resulting from increasing vulnerability to regional economic crises, and from increasing inequalities between nations. By organizing this project, the Foundation is contributing to an understanding of these issues, and is seeking to generate public debate on the policy options that could increase national and international well-being.
This major project of the Gorbachev Foundation of North America is in its second year. Begun in Spring 1997, Phase I was successfully completed in December '97 at a specially convened roundtable presided over by Mikhail Gorbachev, and attended by twenty distinguished economists from seven countries; included among the participants were two Nobel laureates in Economics (James Tobin and Lawrence Klein). The goal of the conference was to identify the most pressing issues in an era of economic globalization, and to discuss areas in which globalization may be influenced through public policy.
