Global Interdependence
This issue working group addresses how to: 1) heighten public awareness of the economic and social interdependence of countries around the world; 2) demonstrate that national interests, with certain short-term exceptions, are consonant with those of the global community; 3) make the case that the U.S. is doing less than its fair share internationally; and 4) increase support for observing international norms of behavior and pursuing collaborative solutions in the foreign policy arena.
Members of the Global Interdependence working group exchange ideas and information about:
- How public opinion regarding this issue is formed and how it can be influenced in order to advance progressive views on the issue,
