The forces propelling globalization have ushered in benefits for a wide range of American corporations and consumers. However, the rising tide has not lifted all boats, at least in recent years. For some Americans, greater foreign import competition and increased offshoring/outsourcing have triggered economic upheaval that threatens their way of life. Complicating policy matters further is the fact that the major driver of such upheaval is not necessarily globalization but rather technology and automation. In light of these trends, what types of domestic policies are required to help better the costs associated with globalization, which are disproportionately borne by Americans’ pocketbooks? What are the major failings of existing policies? How should we pay for any new or redesigned programs? During a bicentennial session, hosted by Harvard Law School Professor Mark Wu, titled “Domestic Challenge of Globalization: What Policies Are Necessary for Addressing Those Left Behind,” panelists Congressman Sander “Sandy” Levin ‘57, 9th Congressional District of Michigan; Michael Froman ’91, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who served as the U.S. trade representative from June 2013 to January 2017; and Robert Zoellick J.D./M.P.P. ‘81, former president, World Bank Group, explored some of these challenges of globalization and how to address them.
Their talk was part of the HLS in the World bicentennial summit which took place at Harvard Law School on Friday, October 27, 2017. Read more:
