Dr. Eric A. Belgrad Speaker Series – April 25 with Dr. James Roberts
The Towson University Journal of International Affairs is hosting Dr. James Roberts, Professor in the Department of Political Science, in the 8th presentation of the Eric A. Belgrad Speaker Series on Monday, April 25, 6:00pm in the College of Liberal Arts, room 4310. Dr. Roberts’ presentation is titled Constructivist Approaches to Global Public Goods, A Multimedia Presentation.
What are Global Public Goods? They are much like their national counterparts – a beneficial policy, good or service that have no cost attached to them. They include collective security, global economic management, the environment, and the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Past analysis of the topic has mostly been used in an economic sense where costs and benefits matter. A more useful approach would be to examine the socially constructed interests and preferences of countries and other international agents. This lecture will use music and its many genres in a multimedia approach to facilitate a deeper understanding of global public goods.
