Globalization, the US Economy, and Political Backlash
Political support for the globalization of the American economy seems to have fallen dramatically in the past decade.

These involve the interplay among partisanship and party loyalties within countries, populism, and polarization within and among nations. The trends are widespread and seem to be reshaping politics across the globe.

The time is now to bridge the digital divide
The UK government is a world leader in digital government. And, with more and more services moving to digital platforms to save money and increase efficiency, the digital literacy needed to use these services is not keeping pace. By 2028, at current rates of progress, 12% of the British population will still be digitally excluded. This means that they will lack the skills needed to operate in our digital world. From a practical, economic and moral perspective, this is unacceptable.

The Enduring Legacy of Robert Gilpin
Robert G. Gilpin, one of the leading realist scholars of international political economy, passed away on June 20. When Gilpin began his career, the field of IPE, which is the study of how politics and economics interact in the global system, was in its infancy. He helped define the subject, and his realist vision established one of the primary lenses through which scholars have studied the field ever since. His clear and precise writing made his ideas accessible to a larger public.

Trump just blocked a Chinese takeover of a sensitive U.S. company. Here’s what’s going on.
Two days ago, President Trump issued an order blocking the $1.3 billion sale of a Portland, Ore.-based company called Lattice Semiconductor to private equity firm Canyon Bridge Capital Partners. The stated rationale for Trump’s order was national security. Shortly after the deal was announced, Reuters reported that Canyon Bridge’s capital came from China’s State Council, the top decision-making body of the government, which has links to the Chinese military.
