Slaughter, associate dean and professor of international economics at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, is a former member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. His talk — "A New Deal for Globalization?" — explores what's behind the rising protectionist drift in business policy — both in the United States and around the world — and what business and policy leaders can do about it. The forum addresses knowledge creation and sharing within firms, how activities are structured across borders and the labor-market impacts of international trade.

Sponsored by the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government and Public Policy, the program is the second in a series of Weidenbaum Center evening forums on topics related to "Multinational Enterprises and Global Political Economy."
