These, in my view, offer the best chance to control global emissions without inhibiting the economic growth so eagerly anticipated in the developing world. Promoting world economic growth is not just a benevolent thing to do. It seems to me to be sound foreign policy. As I know Sam Nunn would say, a strong national defense must come first. But U.S. Security can also be served by building up the world economy.
Globalization can blur regional and national differences.
It is a force for stability that promotes a commonality of interests. Of course, globalization is not a painless process. It can force change on every nation, just as it does on every company and industry. Globalization is forcing developing nations to adopt rational regulatory structures, greater transparency, and reduce crony capitalism. The United States is not immune to challenges from globalization.
