However, there are sharp divisions by party identification. Democrats say 90 – 7 percent and independents say 62 – 35 percent that they are optimistic. Republicans say 65 – 27 percent that they are pessimistic. Despite an overall majority being optimistic, 69 percent of Americans say they are either very dissatisfied (46 percent) or somewhat dissatisfied (23 percent) with the way things are going in the nation today. Twenty-nine percent say they are very satisfied (6 percent) or somewhat satisfied (23 percent) with the way things are going in the nation today. A majority (56 – 35 percent) say Biden is doing more to unite the country than to divide it. “Amid a palpable uncertainty about the months and even years ahead, there is a sense that President Biden is the man for the moment. And that moment can’t come too soon,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. U.S. ISSUES: CRISIS VS. PROBLEM? Americans were asked about several issues the United States is confronting right now and whether they think these issues are a crisis, a problem but not a crisis, or not a problem at all.

  • Whither Transatlantic Relations in the Biden Era?
    Whither Transatlantic Relations in the Biden Era? by Dr. George N. Tzogopoulos BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,820, November 16, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Relations between the US and the EU are expected to improve during the presidency of Joe Biden, but it is not yet clear whether the disagreements Europe had with Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, were about methods or substance. Washington and Brussels can work together on issues like climate change and can probably find synergies in international organizations, but their understanding of security challenges remains different. The most likely area in which they can cooperate effectively is the creation of a coordinated Western approach to the problem of COVID-19. During the Donald Trump administration, disagreements between Washington and Brussels on the JCPOA, the financial commitments of NATO member states, climate change, and Trump’s overall understanding of the EU’s role in the world brought transatlantic relations to a new low. In supporting Brexit, for example, Trump exhibited his limited faith in the project of European integration. Against that backdrop, the apparent victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential election was welcomed in Europe. German Chancellor Angela Merkel tweeted that she looked forward “to future cooperation with President Biden,” and French President Emmanuel Macron called Biden and emphasized his desire to work with him. The EU leadership also issued a positive statement. Ongoing tensions inside the US, the unclear Senate result, and Trump’s refusal to concede to Biden until legal challenges to the election results are completed hinder prognostications about how 2021 will unfold.

    BRIEFING Requested by the INTA committee Three briefings EU Trade Policy: How can FTAs better deliver for SMEs? Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union PE 653.627 – March 2021 EN DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS EU Trade Policy: How can FTAs better deliver for SMEs? ABSTRACT These briefings discuss how free trade agreements (FTAs) can help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We provide an overview of FTAs with provisions helping SMEs to internationalise. Based on a literature review, we also discuss the main challenges and concerns for SMEs doing business in third countries. First, we show the current situation of European SMEs with respect to internationalisation and highlight the corresponding benefits. Following previous literature on the topic, we distinguish between SMEs without international operations and SMEs that are already internationalised and discuss how different barriers can affect them. Finally, the last section discusses initiatives at the EU and national level to support SMEs and concludes with a set of recommendations on how to better support them.

  • S Impact on Financial Services Industry: Aite Group | 1
    Election’s Impact on Financial Services Industry: Aite Group | 1 Election’s Impact on Financial Services Industry: Aite Group By The Aite Group Thu, Nov 12, 2020 A team of analysts at the Aite Group offers tentative forecasts of the incoming Biden administration's impact on the regulation of the financial services industry in the US. The report covers wealth management, banking, health insurance and other sectors. Barring any legal challenges to former Vice President Biden’s election as president of the United States, and keeping in mind that control of Congress remains undecided, Aite Group analysts share first takes on the recent U.S. election results and expect the following to unfold from the 2020 presidential election for the financial services industry: Retail Banking and Payments Future direction of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Naming a new director to the CFPB is going to be a top priority of the new administration, with action likely to occur within the first 30 days. Many of the names being floated for this role include top staffers from the Cordray era, along with consumer finance experts, such as Representative Katie Porter of California. A new director will likely re-elevate the Enforcement and Fair Lending offices to their prior statuses and give a second look to rule- makings related to small-dollar/payday lending and overdraft fees. Consumer financial regulation generally President-elect Joe Biden’s administration will likely bring several issues/topics to the forefront: a reconsideration of how to approach Community Reinvestment Act rule-makings; a serious look at how practices in the financial services industry affect communities of color and what levers government entities can pull to influence this; what, if anything, should be done with regard to reform for government-sponsored enterprises (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac); and new directions for long-simmering issues such as disparate impact, how guidance should be interpreted and deployed, the balance of power between states and federal regulations, etc.

  • Global Future: Low-Carbon Economy Or High-Carbon Economy?
    Review Global Future: Low-Carbon Economy or High-Carbon Economy? Diosey Ramon Lugo-Morin Postgraduate Program in Sustainable Management of Natural Resources, Management of Sociological Systems, Research and Postgraduate Studies, Intercultural University of Puebla State, Huehuetla, Puebla 73475, Mexico; [email protected] Abstract: This study critically examines the decarbonization of development in the context of the Anthropocene at the global level. A literature review is conducted that emphasizes the rationality of human beings to harmonize with the planet due to the low capacity of their human agency in the framework of the Anthropocene. The analysis recognizes that the possibility of transitioning to a decarbonized global economy or zero carbon emissions is not encouraging. Global energy production and CO2 emissions are concentrated in a dozen countries: China, United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, India, Australia, Indonesia, and Brazil. These countries are part of societies with an advanced social metabolism that negatively impacts the production of CO2. In context, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided some level of environmental health for the planet, but the CO2 reduction levels are still insufficient to consider a positive impact towards 2030. Keywords: global; carbon; Anthropocene; human agency; rationality 1. Introduction Citation: Lugo-Morin, D.R.

  • This Month, It's All About…
    Local Culture Corner September 2017 This month, it’s all about… Des Moines, the state capitol of Iowa, is a picturesque city that is named for the river it sits on, the Des Moines River. The name Des Moines was adapted from its French Colonial name, Rivière des Moines, or “River of the Monks”. With the Des Moines River flowing through the city, many beautiful bridges have been built to connect the east and west sides of town, which have created a majestic and modern aesthetic for this historic city. In 2017, U.S. News & World Report ranked Des Moines the ninth best place to live. Like with many rankings and best-of lists, Des Moines performed well thanks to its cheap cost of living and relatively high wages. Des Moines also ranked high, at number 6, on the 2016 Forbes list of best places in the U.S. for Business and Careers The majority of the businesses headquartered in Des Moines are insurance companies, which includes Fidelity & Guaranty Life. Rand Worldwide is proud to have an office located about 13 miles outside of the city of Des Moines. Based out of this office we have a nice mix of IMAGINiT Sales and Service folks, listed below, and The Center Street Foot Bridge in Downtown Des pictured on the next page: Moines • Angie Schultz- Order Management Representative • Bill Mayfield- Account Executive, AEC • Brian Tuffin- Solutions Consultant, BSD • John Dow- Sr. Project Manager, MSD • Karen Carnine- Manager of Training and Resource Coordination • Megan Dunton- Director of Strategic Accounts, MSD • Ryan Levine- Account Executive, MSD • Scott Hale- Vice President of Consulting Solutions .
