Globalization, Development and Democracy: The Chilean Democratic Model

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Manuel Castells) — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0800

The economic growth and democratic consolidation that took place in Chile from 1990 to 2007 has made that country the success story of Latin American development. Chile has been able to combine a high rate of economic growth with a substantial reduction in poverty and major improvements in housing, education and health for low income groups. Manuel Castells argues, in contrast to the standard view, that it was the inclusive, democratic model of development rather than Pinochet?s exclusionary, authoritarian model that transformed Chile while the region at large alternated between growth and crisis. Castells will present the results of several years of research on Chile and examine its implications for Latin America as a whole.

Manuel Castells is the Wallis Annenberg Professor of Communication Technology and Society at the University of Southern California, Research Professor at the Open University of Catalonia in Barcelona and Professor Emeritus of City Planning and Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley.

He is the author of the trilogy The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture, translated into 22 languages, and, lately, of Globalizaci�n, desarrollo y democracia: Chile en el contexto mundial (Fondo de Cultura Economica, 2005).

Agriculture for Development: Implications for Latin America?

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Alain de Janvry) — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0800

With 75 percent of world poverty concentrated in rural areas, the forthcoming World Development Report "Agriculture for Development" argues that the role of agriculture as an instrument for development has been badly underused by governments and donors, with high social and environmental costs. Does this apply to Latin America ? The region is highly urbanized, new developments in production and marketing threaten the competitiveness of smallholders and agricultural labor markets have been poorly remunerative. The model followed has often been rapid growth in commercial farming with poverty mitigated through cash transfers. Can Latin America do better? The authors of the report argue that it can.

Alain de Janvry is Professor of Agriculture and Resource Economics at UC Berkeley.

The American Presidency: Iraq, Elections, and the Second Term

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Multiple) — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0800

The 26th in a series of annual assessments of the American presidency presented by the Center on Politics at the Institute of Governmental Studies and UC Berkeley Extension.

As Americans went to the polls in 2006 to determine control of Congress, Democrats fought to make the midterm elections a referendum on President Bush and his leadership. The president's popularity ratings consistenly have been below 50 percent and public opion polls revealed substantial discontent with the progress of the war in Iraq. How did those public perceptions influence the president and his performance in office? What impact will the November elections have on the president?s final two years in office?

A Crisis in Human Rights: Genocide in Darfur and Beyond

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Multiple) — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0800

Focusing on the crisis in Darfur, the speakers will offer a comprehensive view of how and why a conflict evolves into a full-fledged genocide. The Darfur genocide has involved not just the outright immediate killing of people, but also the creation of conditions that have made life impossible by chasing people out into the desert and destroying their homes, villages, food supplies and livelihoods. Speakers will present eyewitness accounts of events on the ground in Darfur as well as academic research into conflict and peace within and between nations.

Featured panelists:

Shane Bauer is a current undergraduate student in UCB's Peace and Conflict Studies Department. The first year away from his home in Minnesota, he witnessed war for the first time in Macedonia at the impressionable age of 19.

Martha Saavedra is the Associate Director of the UC Berkeley Center for African Studies, an interdisciplinary research center supporting basic research on Africa. Her research includes agrarian politics and ethnic conflict in Sudan.

David Tuller is a doctoral student in the School of Public Health and has a special interest in looking at public health through a human rights lens. He investigated some of Darfur's mass atrocities as part of a team from Physicians for Human Rights in 2005.

The U.S. Supreme Court Confronts Global Warming: Deconstructing Massachusetts v. USEPA

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Multiple) — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0800

Join a panel of distinguished scholars and expert environmental lawyers for a panel discussion of the U.S. Supreme Court's April 2, 2007, decision in the groundbreaking climate change case, Massachusetts, et al. v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In Massachusetts, a divided Supreme Court held that California, 11 other states and the nation's major environmental organizations have legal standing to bring this case; that USEPA has the authority under the federal Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions associated with climate change; and that USEPA has failed to adequately justify its reasons for declining to do so.

This program will analyze the Court's decision in Massachusetts; explore its effect on other, important climate change litigation pending in California and throughout the nation; and examine the larger impact of the Massachusetts decision on the current legal, scientific, policy and political debate over global warming.

The Panel:
- Daniel A. Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law; and Faculty Director, California Center for Environmental Law & Policy, Boalt Hall School of Law
- Anne Joseph O'Connell, Acting Professor of Law, Boalt Hall School of Law

Food Fight: A Teach-in On the 2007 Farm Bill

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Various) — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0800

Michael Pollan moderates a panel discussion of the 2007 farm bill, now being debated, with guests Dan Imhoff, the author of Food Fight: A Citizen's Guide to the Farm Bill; George Naylor, Iowa corn farmer and president of the National Family Farms Coalition; Ann Cooper, Director of Nutrition Services for the Berkeley school system, and other leaders in the effort to reform federal agricultural policies.

Every five years or so, the President signs an obscure piece of legislation that determines what happens on a couple of hundred million acres of private land in America, what sort of food Americans eat (and how much it costs) and, directly as a result, the health of our population. The American food system is a game played according to a precise set of rules that are written by Congress, typically with virtually no input from anyone beyond a handful of farm-state legislators. Nothing could do more to reform the American food system --an by doing so improve the condition of America's environment and public health-- than if the rest of us were to start paying attention to the farm bill.

Hispanics, Immigration and Politics

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Maria Echaveste) — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0800

Nationwide, 60 percent of Hispanics supported Democratic candidates in the 2006 election, an increase of more than 10 percent from 2004. Did the Republican strategy of focusing on illegal immigration result in a loss of Hispanic support? Or were there other reasons that explain the gains made by Democrats among Hispanics? Can Democrats count on the Hispanic vote in the upcoming elections?

National Security, the War on Terror, and the Constitution: A Forum

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Various) — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 00:00:00 +0800

2006 Constitution Day Event
National Security, the War on Terror, and the Constitution: A Forum

A campus wide forum held in honor of Constitution Day and the 5th anniversary of the Terrorist Attack on the World Trade Center.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, the United States quickly responded with a wide range of statutes, executive orders and public policy statements reflecting the perceived need for more effective information gathering, as well as new understandings of traditional constitutional concerns.

This forum will look at a wide range of statutes, and public policy positions taken by Congress, and the President during the past five years. These range from privacy concerns and the use of electronic surveillance; the status of combatants and non-combatant collaborators; the treatment of military prisoners in the United States and in Guantanamo; interrogation techniques; and the applicability of international treaties. The Forum will bring together a wide range of constitutional scholars, historians and political scientists, to consider, evaluate and debate the impact 9/11 has had, and continues to have on the American Constitution.

A Conversation with Ambassador Joseph Wilson, IV

webcast@media.berkeley.edu (Wilson, Joseph) — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0800

Called by President George H. W. Bush - a true American hero, Ambassador Joe Wilson has been involved in international politics for more than twenty years. As the acting U.S. ambassador in Iraq during Operation Desert Shield, the massive U.S. buildup in Saudi Arabia after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Wilson was responsible for freeing 150 American hostages seized by Iraq. He was the last American official to meet with Hussein before the first Gulf War. During his highly-decorated career, Wilson held many senior government posts, including Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council in the Clinton administration, responsible for the coordination of U.S. policy to the 48 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. He was a principal architect of President Clinton's historic trip to Africa in March 1998 and a leading proponent of the Africa Trade Bill.

Wilson is now at the center of a major political maelstrom involving the White House, the C.I.A. and the second gulf war in Iraq. In 2002, at the request of Vice President Dick Cheney, Wilson was assigned by the C.I.A. to investigate claims that Saddam Hussein was seeking to acquire uranium from Niger for the purpose of advancing his nuclear program. When his investigation turned up nothing, Wilson reported back to officials in Washington that there was no basis for the claims.

At the podium, Wilson lays out his side of the controversy in an enlightening, incisive presentation. Drawing from his new memoir, The Politics of Truth, he takes audiences inside two decades of world politics - from facing down Saddam Hussein to battling uranium lies and White House leaks. A frequent foreign policy commentator on national and international television and radio programs, Wilson also speaks about foreign affairs and international relations since 9/11.
