China Rising: Good News or Bad News for U.S. Workers, Consumers and Investors?

As a senior Chinese diplomat, ambassador Zhang Yesui will help the American audience understand China’s point of view as he and Senator Hagel discuss the complex relationship between the United States and China and its effects on the citizens of both countries.

Citizenship in a Global Age

The idea of "global citizenship" is old as Athens. But, to this day, it remains a political ideal, not a practical reality. The "world" does not issue you a passport or guarantee you rights.
