Scott will discuss the business-related effects of the terrorist attacks and the pending war and then address concerns about a possible depression, future unemployment, or other fiscal uneasiness. J. Brownson, Ph.D. specializes in central Asia and the Middle East. Brownson has taught international relations in Istanbul and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East. He will speak on some of the sources of this ongoing conflict, relating cultural factors with economic, and will illustrate theistic issues. He cites globalization as a causal factor of aggression toward the World Trade Center. Past attacks and riots among the young progressive and some anarchistic subcultures of America and the world, he argues, are indicators of a growing uneasiness toward the phenomenon of globalization.
