Volunteers Needed for WFPG's Annual Luncheon with Josette Sheeran

This year's Women's Foreign Policy Group's Annual Luncheon will take place on September 29th at the Four Seasons in Washington, DC and will feature a keynote address from Josette Sheeran, Executive Director of the World Food Program. Lara Logan, CBS News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, will moderate the luncheon's Q&A session. The WFPG is looking for volunteers to help out both on the 29th and with preparations.

We are seeking immediate help at our offices in Dupont Circle this week: times would be this evening (9/3), tomorrow, and tomorrow evening (9/4) and Friday (9/5).

If you are interested and can make it this week or would like to help out closer to the event, please call Sara Barker at 202-884-8096.

Thanks!

Current Financial Crisis : Are Asian economies de-linked or not?

Posted by Anirudh Suri on November 13, 2008 - 6:09pm.

The current financial crisis has significantly impacted Asia. Not surprisingly, this weekend, its not a G-8 meeting, but a G-20 meeting, including India, China and Brazil.

Before the crisis erupted, India and China were being touted as the new "dream economies." For a while after the magnitude of the crisis started becoming evident, the economies of both countries showed some resilience, prompting commentators in Asia to point out the de-linkage in the global economy. "De-linkage" refers to a strain of thought that argues that the fate of the global economy, especially the Asian economies, is no longer inextricably linked to that of the U.S. economy.
