International cooperation subjects political leaders to an ongoing test: balancing national needs with a commitment to building a durable international order. How has an increasingly interconnected and shrinking world affected the viability of existing agreements and institutions? What economic, social, political, and security concerns are currently on the agendas of intergovernmental bodies, and what is the future U.S. role?
Speaker: Craig Murphy, Ph.D., Professor of Conflict Resolution, Human Security and Global Governance at UMass Boston's McCormack Graduate School.
The discussion will be held in the library's Boston Room.
