Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - 6:00pm
Betsy Bowman & Cliff DuRand

Globalization has tied the countries of the world more closely together with trade and investment through giant transnational corporations.

The speakers discuss how globalization has operated over the last 30 years and the crisis it faces today.
