Free Trade vs. States' Rights: Globalization and the Challenge to Local Democratic Government Tuesday, 26 June 2001, 12:00 p.m. Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI, 1150 Seventeenth Street,= N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036 Even as America is experiencing a revival of states' rights, globalization = has begun to strain domestic federalism arrangements. State policymakers ar= e finding their authority constrained by the rules of international trade o= rganizations. At the same time, the states' increasingly active role in for= eign policy is making it more difficult for the United States to project a = single, coherent policy in the international arena. Are federalism and glob= alization headed for a collision? How should we reconcile the conflicting v= alues of economic efficiency, state autonomy, and democratic governance? Ho= w should states respond to the challenges of globalization? What role shoul= d the federal government play in ensuring that international organizations = (such as the WTO) and global capitalism do not undermine state autonomy? Ma= rk Gordon - whose paper "Democracy's New Challenge: Globalization, Governan= ce, and the Future of American Federalism" will soon be released by Demos -= will be joined in the discussion by Michael Greve and two distinguished gu= est panelists. __________________________________________________________________ EVENT SCHEDULE (Noon to 2:00 p.m.) Luncheon Introduction MICHAEL S.
