CED 50th Anniversary - Visualizing the Future of Environmental Design: Bottom-Up: The Integration of the Poorest Countries into Global Society
Paul Collier, Professor of Economics, Oxford University
Bottom-Up: The Integration of the Poorest Countries into Global Society
A billion people live in countries that have fallen far behind the rest of mankind. How, over the coming decades, can these societies develop? As they transform, what will be the implications for design?
Paul Collier's research focuses on the causes and consequences of civil war; the effects of aid; and the problems of democracy in low-income and natural-resource-rich societies. In the past year Mr. Collier has served as the senior adviser to the Blair Commission on Africa; has addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations; given a seminar at 10 Downing Street; and been invited to meet with Condoleezza Rice on her recent United Kingdom visit.

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes author Avner Cohen for a discussion of his new book The Worst-Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb. Tracing the history of Israel's nuclear weapons program, Cohen explicates Israel's nuclear doctrine of amimut (opacity) analyzing its implications for Israel's democracy and for Israel's international engagement. Though the doctrine made sense in earlier phases of Israel's nuclear program, Cohen argues that in today's post-911 world, it conflicts with the norms of the international system, especially the effort to adapt non-proliferation to the realities of the 21st century. The conversation concludes with an analysis of the threat posed to Israel if Iran succeeds in acquiring nuclear weapons.
