Though by nature a universalizing phenomenon, globalization is proceeding unevenly,
producing sharply separated winners and losers. The Program focuses on improving understanding
and identifying productive channels of response at all levels to increase the possibility
that globalization will ultimately unify more than divide. |

 Efforts
to reconcile the tensions
among trade, environmental
protection, and
labor concernshave
produced substantial
advances in knowledge,
but few policy implementation
gains. The debate has
gown polarized, particularly
in the context of
public demonstrations at
global trade and finance
meetings. In response, the
Project on Trade,
Equity, and
Development fosters
issue-specific, policy-oriented
discussion among
all voices who have a stake
in the role trade policy
plays in modern life. |

 There
is much talk about the need for American
leadership but little agreement on what
leadership means in the current era and
less agreement on what American leadership
should aim to accomplish. The project examines
America's role as the world's lone superpower
and how American leadership can preserve
and extend an international order congruent
with American principles and ideas.
