Diversifying Cities: Migration, Habitation, and Community Development
The largest scale migration in human history, says Xavier de Souza Briggs, is potentially the most transformative as well. It’s time to consider new frames for issues, he says -- not rehash “civic life as a competition over power” but perhaps see this as a moment when we can realize, finally, the ancient idea

ANU Trevor Swan Distinguished Lectures in Economics: Consequences of Radical Reform - The Economic C
Using the French Revolution as a starting point, the presentation examines the economic effects of exogenously-imposed institutional change on countries following invasions by French Revolutionary and Napoleonic armies.

China and the US-Japan Alliance: Comparing 1960 and 2010
In its 50th year, the US-Japan Security Treaty has come under scrutiny in Washington, Tokyo, and in capitals around East Asia.

Yet these developments ar
