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.
democracy, rule of law
Democracy This project analyzes the state of attempted democratic transitions around the world, including in the Middle East, former Soviet Union, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, and Africa.

Anatol Lieven has spent extensive time in the region as a journalist and is currently focused on Afghanistan.
trade, equity and development
Trade Equity and Development 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.
u.s. role in the world
U.S. Role in the WorldThere 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.
