This beautiful as well as insightful online publication from the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, looks at both historic and current trends shaping the forces of globalization.
Most of the site is turned over to articles analyzing current trends authored by Yale experts as well as collections from outside publications, including major newspapers and magazines worldwide. Each story features a helpful executive summary. Articles can be browsed by topic (these include: Economy, Gender, Labor, Politics, and Trade) or by region. Be sure to check out the multi-parter on how the rest of the world views President Bush's re-election.
YaleGlobal Online also includes academic papers from Yale and beyond such as China Views Globalization: Toward a New Great-Power Politics, which was published by The Washington Quarterly this summer. Also on display are excerpts from new books, a resource list of related Web sites, a special report on SARS, and a discussion forum (registration required).
Of interest to an audience in addition to scholars, students, and policymakers, YaleGlobal Online should be bookmarked by any executive playing in a global market.—Sean Silverthorne
