AMERICA BOXED IN

AMERICA BOXED IN is a story that examines a world where globalization reigns supreme. The connectivity that defines the 21^st century has created a world landscape where profound strategic, economic, and political shifts loom on the global horizon.

From the diffusion of power from governments to non-state actors; to the extraordinary division of political systems throughout the world; to the wealth and power transition among states from West to East our globalized age is witnessing historic change. These upheavals have emerged a key contemporary issues and have cast a spotlight on the most critical issue of our time—the consequences of the globalization phenomenon itself.

What People Are Saying

"95% of the world's customers live outside our borders, and we can't close ourselves off from those opportunities. More than half of manufacturing executives have said they're actively looking at bringing jobs back from China. Let's give them one more reason to get it done."
Barack Obama - President of the United States of America
"We hope each side can put forth joint efforts to provide a fair, open and transparent trade and investment environment, and jointly work to make contributions to improving global investment rules."
Hua Chunying - ministry spokeswoman
“If we deal with (the relationship) well, it could benefit both sides. But if we deal with this badly, that could be a slippery slope to terrible competition and even conflict."
Zhong Sheng - "Voice of China"
"China wants to write the rules for the world's fastest-growing region. That would put our workers and businesses at a disadvantage. Why would we let that happen? We should write those rules. We should level the playing field."
Barack Obama - President of the United States of America
"I think it's important to note that there are countries all over the world, China included, that would like to take away America's mantle of economic leadership."
