- Road to the White House 2012: China from a US Policy Perspective
- The futures of China and the US are increasingly interlinked. From an economic perspective, US deficits are funded in large part through loans from China. Those loans in turn are funded through China's accumulated trade surpluses, which are vivid reminders of a declining US economic stature, at least in relative terms. Controversy swirls over the extent to which an undervalued Chinese currency is the root cause of such imbalances in trade and financial flows. From a geopolitical perspective China is emerging as a rival for US power and influence, both in the Asia Pacific region and well beyond. This is reflected in military terms as well as in a broader competition to secure energy resources and to exert political influence and other forms of soft power. These two largest national economies are also the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, and so even the earth's biosphere is impacted by the extent to which China and the US can jointly exercise responsible environmental stewardship. Meanwhile, students, tourists, business entrepreneurs and NGOs contrinue to forge relationships with their counterparts directly, without specific reference to state-to-state relations. Moreover these phenomena are all intertwined, as scarce resources, economic dislocation, political considerations and social interactions all feedback upon each other. Our discussion will assess how these issues may factor into US policy deliberations and election year rhetoric and debate.

- Road to the White House 2012: The Future of Federal Transport Policy...
- Road to the White House 2012: The Future of Federal Transport Policy The House, the Senate, and the White House have all released dueling transportation spending bills - and we're not likely to see any of them passed this election year. Each version represents competing visions for federal leadership in US infrastructure and finance in an era where trillion-dollar deficits and unemployment still weight heavily on budgetary politics. The Senate Bill, sponsored by California's own Barbara Boxer, attempts to straddle the divide between the White House's urban-focused infrastructure policy and the House's growing anti-federalism. The Republican candidates have thrown their own wildcards into the equation by trash-talking on earmarks. In this session, we'll sort through what the various proposals - from infrastructure banks to REITS to privatization - mean for the future of US infrastructure and the Race for the White House.
