shapers of globalization
A panel of Yale experts will talk about the various aspects of globalization explored in a new book by the editor of YaleGlobal Online at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 3, in Rm. 309 of William L. Harkness Hall, 100 Wall St.
The four Yale professors -- Jeffrey Garten of the Yale School of Management and Robert Harms, Paul Freedman and Daniel Kevles of the Department of History -- will discuss Nayan Chanda's book "Bound Together: How Traders, Preachers, Adventurers and Warriors Shaped Globalization," which was just published by Yale University Press.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, the home of YaleGlobal Online. Ernesto Zedillo, director of the center, will serve as host for the event. A reception will follow.
In "Bound Together," Chanda traces the history of globalization through four groups -- traders, preachers, adventurers and warriors -- and shows how just about every aspect of life today is a product of the globalization process that spans millennia, starting with the first human migrations.
The panelists are all experts on a range of topics addressed in the book. Garten, the former dean of the Yale School of Management and currently the Juan Trippe Professor in the Practice of International Trade, Finance and Business, has written books on global business strategy, emerging markets and corporate leadership; Harms, professor of African history, is an expert on the slave trade and the global system on which it was based; Freedman, the Chester D. Tripp Professor of History, specializes in medieval social history and comparative studies of the peasantry; and Kevles, the Stanley Woodward Professor of History, studies the interplay of science and society.
As editor of YaleGlobal Online, Chanda directs the flagship publication of the Center for the Study of Globalization. He is the co-author of over a dozen books on Asian politics, security and foreign policy issues, including "Brother Enemy: The War after the War," which chronicles the fall of South Vietnam and Cambodia to the Communists in 1975. In 2001, he co-edited with Strobe Talbott a collection of essays titled "The Age of Terror: America and the World after September 11." Before coming to Yale in 2001 he was the editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review 1996-2000.
(Chanda will also talk about his book at the opening of a new exhibition on Thursday, May 4, at Sterling Memorial Library. See related story.)
