Project Syndicate

Although the term "globalization" is regularly invoked by leaders everywhere, public discussion about that process - whether the topic concerns IMF lending or genetically modified foods - is often haphazard, neglected, and uncoordinated. Ideas and issues raised in one country rarely enter debates in others. Project Syndicate was founded to close this gap by creating a truly global forum for broadening debate and exchanging ideas.
Indeed, before discussion of today's political, economic, scientific, and medical revolutions hardens into stark political decisions, it is vital for the broad public everywhere to understand the implications of the choices being made. By developing an "international conversation" within the world's print media, Project Syndicate establishes an institutional framework to help disperse today's "cloud of unknowing".
The website offers a weekly briefing on important things happening in the world and monthly column on specific themes e.g. Science and Society, Health and Medicine. Articles published here are reprinted by newspapers around the world.
