Research Collaboratives
In 2005 the Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy conducted a grant competition that yielded three new multi-year interdisciplinary projects. These three collaboratives along with an ongoing project on new governance will anchor WAGE’s programming through 2008. Each collaborative supports an active scholarly dialogue, graduate student training, campus events, and public outreach activities. Click on a collaborative's title to learn more about these exciting research initiatives. For more information on our grant competition, see our Grants page.
Current Account Sustainability
The WAGE Current Account Sustainability Collaborative theoretically and empirically analyzes the ability of the major economies of the world (“the G-5”) to sustain large current account deficits over prolonged periods. Governing Global Insecurities
The WAGE Governing Global Insecurities Collaborative focuses on new insecurities the process of globalization has created for states and societies, with special emphasis on the globalization of violence and ecological risk, and offers concrete proposals for institutional and policy reforms to address these concerns. New Governance
The WAGE New Governance Collaborative investigates new approaches to public administration, regulation, and law that arise out of efforts to promote international economic integration while, at the same time, preserving and updating distinctive national and local social and environmental protections. Technology Entrepreneurship & Institutions
The WAGE Technology Entrepreneurship & Institutions Collaborative explores how organizational contexts influence technology entrepreneurship and how the latter, in turn, influences the creation of markets and institutions that support innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development.
