Directors:

The workshop on
Globalization, Institutions and
Economic Security (GIES) is co-sponsored by the Mershon Center and the
Department of Political Science. It provides a forum for exchange
between faculty and graduate students interested in broad political
economy themes such as global economic and political change, economic
security, and the political dynamics of global integration – including conflict
and
cooperation –
within and among nations. A goal of the workshop is to
facilitate greater interaction between faculty and graduate students
from the different subfields of political science and across allied
disciplines in the social sciences.
