Science and Technology in the Pacific Century
|
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE PACIFIC CENTURY (2007-08) will address a series of issues concerning the development in science and technology in East Asia, as well as developments in the East Asian market, and how these are already transforming American science technology and industry. Glenn Hoetker (Business Administration) has been named CAS Resident Associate for this initiative.
(STIP) is a three-year cross-disciplinary initiative of the University of Illinois's Center for Advanced Study and the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS). Co-sponsored by over twenty university units, STIP activities include public lectures, symposia, workshops, hosting visiting scholars, supporting guest lecturers in undergraduate classes and a semester-long seminar for faculty and graduate students. STIP is also part of the IL/IN East Asia Initiative, a partnership between EAPS and the East Asian Studies Center at Indiana University.

The Day the Sun Doesn't Rise
Clyde Prestowitz
President,
Economic
Strategy Institute,
Washington DC
The world created in the wake of World War II is the only one most of us
have ever known and certainly the one all of us have known the longest. Certain aspects of this world - America
as the global hegemon; the U.S. economy as the world's largest; the dollar as the world's money - are so taken for
granted that they seem to be the natural order of things, like, for example, the daily rising of the sun. But
scientists know that there will come a day when the sun won't rise.

The New Argonauts: Remaking Global Geographies
AnnaLee Saxenian
Dean, School of Information and Professor, Department of City and Regional Planning, University of California at Berkeley
Highly-skilled immigrants are transforming what was once seen as a brain drain into a far more complex, two-way process of "brain circulation." By transferring skills and connections developed in technology centers like Silicon Valley to their home countries, the new Argonauts have seeded new centers of entrepreneurial experimentation in once peripheral economies like Taiwan, Israel, China, and India. These technical communities transfer scarce technical and institutional know-how more flexibly than the most decentralized multinational corporations – and they are transforming the traditional hierarchies of core and periphery, revealing highly differentiated global geographies that offer unanticipated possibilities for institutional and economic change.
