Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

For decades, the United States was the main organizer of a system of multilateral and regional frameworks to encourage international commerce, such as the WTO and NAFTA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trump Administration has rejected this approach with both statements and actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President has criticized multilateral agreements, on the grounds that the United States could negotiate more favorable bilateral deals. The administration rejected the draft Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and forced a renegotiation of NAFTA. It has also resorted to an array of remedies, based on existing law, designed to address allegedly unfair trade practices. Escalating threats threaten trade wars but can also lead to negotiations.<\/p>\n

The Trump trade initiatives raise a lot of questions. One is whether Democrats who are skeptical of the free trade ideology should oppose or support the administration\u2019s actions. This is related to the possible effects of conflict on the national economy. It also involves whether the administration is choosing the right targets. In practice, it can be hard to discern the principles, other than pure suspicion, behind the administration\u2019s specific choices.\u00a0Professor Colares joins us to suggest how the parts of the Trump Administration\u2019s trade policy fit together \u2013 and to what extent it has been successful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Where We Meet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Our programs are open to all and no registration is required. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Kelvin Smith Library requires all entrants to show identification when entering the building, unless they have a university i.d. that they can magnetically scan. We are sorry if that seems like a hassle, but it has been Library policy for a while in response to security concerns. Please do not complain to the library staff at the entrance, who are just doing their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parking Possibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. You can get from the Severance garage to the library without going outside. Near the entry gates – just to the right if you were driving out – there is a door into a corridor. Walk down the corridor and there will be another door. Beyond that door you’ll find the entrance to an elevator which goes up to an entrance right inside the doors to Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/span><\/h2>\n

Immigration and the Dignity of the Human Person<\/span><\/p>\n

The Frank J. Battisti Memorial Lecture, a discussion with the Most Reverend Nelson J. Perez, M. Div., M.A., D. D., Bishop of Cleveland, Thursday February 7, 2019, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m., CWRU Linsalata Alumni Center, 11310 Juniper Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. Free and open to the public.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Online registration available<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or register at the door. This program was rescheduled from an earlier date.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Cleveland will offer a philosophical, theological, and personal perspective on the human aspects of immigration. This lecture seeks to broaden our understanding of an important legal, social, and political issue to help inform public discussion. This lecture should be of particular interest to people with an interest in immigration issues. In addition, the lecture should also be valuable for those who are concerned with how religious, moral, and ethical thought bear on the analysis and resolution of legal issues.<\/p>\n

How French Are France’s Problems?<\/span><\/p>\n

A Global Currents Discussion with Patrick Chamorel, Ph.D., Senior Resident Scholar at the Stanford Center in Washington D.C., Thursday February 28, 2019, 5:00 – 6:30 p.m., Mandel Center for Community Studies, Room 115, 11402 Bellflower Road, Cleveland, OH. This program is made possible by the generous support of Ms. Eloise Briskin and sponsored by the CWRU Center for Policy Studies. Free and open to the public.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The “yellow vest” demonstrations in France began in November as a response to a proposed gas tax increase. They quickly expanded to more violent protests against a wide range of perceived injustices perpetrated by non-responsive elites and the government of President Macron.<\/p>\n

The events fit a long French tradition of how to influence an unresponsive state. But many of the grievances, such as rising income inequality and worries about national identity, do not seem peculiarly French at all. So to what extent is the French conflict a harbinger for other countries, and to what extent is it peculiarly French? Patrick Chamorel earned both his university degree and Ph.D. from Sciences-Po in Paris and holds a Master in Public Law from the University of Paris. In the 1990s he served as a Senior Advisor to the Ministry of Industry and in the Policy Planning Office of the Prime Minister. But for more than two decades he has lived mainly in the United States, studying and teaching about U.S. politics, French politics, and transatlantic relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
