1 THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION A Brookings-Global Governance Initiative-World Economic Forum Briefing ARE GLOBAL ACTIONS MATCHING GLOBAL ASPIRATIONS? Tuesday, January 17, 2006 The Brookings Institution Falk Auditorium 1775 Massachusetts Avenue Washington, D.C. [TRANSCRIPT PREPARED FROM A TAPE RECORDING] Moderator: STROBE TALBOTT President, The Brookings Institution Panelists: ANN FLORINI Director, Global Governance Initiative Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies The Brookings Institution MOISES NAIM Editor, Foreign Policy Magazine TIM WIRTH President, United Nations Foundation MILLER REPORTING CO., INC. 735 8th STREET, S.E. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20003-2802 (202) 546-6666 2 P R O C E E D I N G S MR. TALBOTT: Okay, everybody. Good afternoon to all of you. Welcome to the Brookings Institution and welcome to a discussion which we're looking forward to your taking part in on the subject of global governance. Now, that phrase is a little bit tricky. There are some people who regard it as a contradiction in terms, because individual states govern themselves but the globe as a whole does not. And I think that there are also people in some circles who regard the term "global governance" as even more insidious than that. They think that it's a synonym or a euphemism for world government, with the aura of black helicopter rudders in the background and all that kind of thing. In any event, that is not the topic that we are discussing here this afternoon. My three colleagues on this panel are going to be addressing global governance in the sense of a whole network of organizations, institutions, arrangements, and attitudes whereby the nearly 200 sovereign states in the world find ways of cooperating in order to deal with those problems that individual states simply cannot handle all by themselves, and that includes the superpower.

PRESS RELEASE Weidenfeld & Nicolson
PRESS RELEASE Weidenfeld & Nicolson FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CONNECTOGRAPHY and THE FUTURE IS ASIAN MOVE HOW MASS MIGRATION WILL RESHAPE THE WORLD – AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU by PARAG KHANNA Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson on 7 October 2021 hardback £20, eBook £10.99, audio £19.99 "A nuanced discussion of the increasing importance of free movement across the planet..... Nativists will hate it, but no matter. Khanna makes an urgent, powerful argument for more open international borders." - Kirkus (starred review) The COP-26 summit in Glasgow is fast approaching, but leaders have not paid nearly as much attention to climate adaptation as mitigation -- and for billions of people, to adapt will mean to move. Where will you live in 2030? Where will your children settle in 2040? What will the map of humanity look like in 2050? Between now and 2050, literally billions of people will have moved. In his new book MOVE: How Mass Migration Will Reshape the World and What it Means for You, leading global strategist Parag Khanna explores how and why that will happen, and what it means for our future. In the 60,000 years since people began colonising the continents, a recurring feature of human civilisation has been mobility - the constant search for resources and stability. Seismic global events - wars and genocides, revolutions and pandemics - have only accelerated the process. The map of humanity isn't settled, not now, not ever. As climate change tips toward full-blown crisis, economies collapse, governments destabilise and technology disrupts, we're entering a new age of mass migrations - one that may scatter many more of us.

MOVE: the Forces Uprooting Us by Parag Khanna
MOVE: The Forces Uprooting Us By Parag Khanna On sale date: 5 October 2021 www.paragkhanna.com/move "A nuanced discussion of the increasing importance of free movement across the planet..... Nativists will hate it, but no matter. Khanna makes an urgent, powerful argument for more open international borders." - Kirkus (starred review) A global war for young talent amidst our turbulent “climatography” Parag Khanna wants to remap America—and the world. The Biden administration is pushing for a grand Infrastructure Plan and a Green New Deal, but it needs to do more than just repair roads, deploy broadband Internet, and install solar panels. To cope with all the disruptions currently unfolding from labor automation to climate change, America needs nothing less than a new Manifest Destiny in which Americans once again embrace physical mobility as the surest path to socio-economic mobility. The new American Dream is defined by mobility and skills, not homes and degrees. In his bracing new book MOVE: The Forces Uprooting Us, renowned globalization scholar Parag Khanna takes us near and far into the post-pandemic future when humanity gets moving again. Khanna’s prescriptions are bold, essential, and practical: ● Rather than taxpayers subsidizing people to remain in unlivable areas prone to floods, forest fires, droughts, and rising sea levels, we should be building sustainable new settlements of movable 3D printed houses in the Great Lakes, Inland West, and Inner Atlantic regions. ● America’s 150 million youth—the nation’s future—shouldn’t be stuck in dead-end retail gigs but circulating in electric RVs, remotely learning coding and engineering, and following “Tinder for jobs” apps that match skills to work.

Leaflet Understanding Latin America
Understanding Latin America A DECODING GUIDE Author Alfredo Toro Hardy Venezuelan Scholar and Diplomat From afar, Latin America looks like a blurry tableau: devoid of defining lines, particularities and nuances. Little is understood about the idiosyncrasies of Latin-Americans, their cultural identity and social values. Differences between Brazilians and Spanish Americans, or amid the diverse Spanish American countries, are not sufficiently understood. Even less is known about the amplitude of the Iberian heritage of such countries, or about the miscegenation and acculturation processes that took place among their different constitutive races. There is no clarity regarding the Western nature of Latin America or about its cultural affinities with Latin Europe. Nor is there sufficient understanding of the links between the Latin population of the United States and the inhabitants of Latin America. This book’s aims to fill the gap by focusing on Latin America’s history, culture, identity and FOREWORD EXCERPTS idiosyncrasies.
