Date: Thursday, November 18, 7:00pm – 9:00pm Global Issues Colloquium
Category : Academics Location : Magruder Hall 2001
Most scholars agree that globalization gives rise to income volatility; as for other consequences there is less of a consensus. Truman State University political science professor Dr. Jaekwon Suh will explore how domestic political institutions mediate the relationship between globalization and state autonomy. Dr. Suh will discuss the “cushion effect” theory of democracy against external shocks showing how globalization’s influence on state autonomy disappears once the degree of conflict management institutional development is taken into account.
