Meeting to be held May 22-25, 2000 |
The Program Committee for the Transatlantic Consortium Colloquium in Maastricht met in Bloomington on October 12, 1999, to sketch out a framework and direction for the program. The program will consist of three major themes:
Theme One: The Changing Nature of Regulation
Description: Globalization and Regionalization has triggered a shift in the appropriate role of regulation. This session will try to identify the impact that globalization has had on regulation. Regulation of economic as well as political and social activities will be considered. The issue will be examined from both a European and U.S. perspective.
Theme Two: The Changing Role of Government in Globalization
Description: Globalization and the increased importance of regions have led to a change in the locus of government. This has led to a rethinking of the role and locus of public policy between the local, regional, national and international levels. Complementarities and conflicts among these different loci of government will be examined.
Theme Three: The Changing Nature of Governance
Description: This third theme will focus on specific applications of governance issues. Examples might include E-Trade, environment, the sharing of resources such as water between adjacent regions, international trade and transnational transactions, immigration, and issues involving unemployment and employment growth.
Several sessions will be devoted to each of these themes. Each session will consist of a panel, which will include a chair, speaker(s) making a formal presentation of about 25 minutes, a panel of several people, and a rapporteur. If you would like to serve any of these roles, or present a specific paper addressing one of these themes, or would like to nominate or suggest someone, please let Dr. Bonser know if you are interested.
In addition, we would like to schedule several keynote speakers. We are looking for practitioners in business and/or government. If you have any suggestions or would like to nominate someone who is well suited for this important task, please let Dr. Bonser know.
Now that we have the structure and major themes in place, we are looking forward to your suggestions to finalize the program of our colloquium in Maastricht. Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Bonser in Bloomington if you have any suggestions or questions.
