Globalization Desk

The Globalization Desk uses radio to educate the public about the impact of the ever-increasing integration of the world's economies, commonly referred to as globalization.

This desk focuses on the effects of macro-economic policies on the daily lives of people around the world. It analyzes current public policies and the institutions responsible for creating them, as well as the political and cultural ramifications of those policies. Other economic models are also explored. The desk also provides training opportunities for independent journalists and individuals involved in community building activities.

Supported by independent funding sources, the Globalization Desk is free to explore and expose government and corporate roles in globalization. Please support the Globalization Desk.
