Roundtable on Technology, Innovation, and American Primacy
Director: James P. Dougherty, Adjunct Senior Fellow for Business and Foreign Policy
January 1, 2004 - Present
America's ability to encourage innovative ideas has helped to establish it as the world's economic and military leader. However, technological developments over the past thirty years have spawned an increasingly globalized world and created new challenges to American pre-eminence. This roundtable series investigates how the government's response to these challenges will affect America's global economic and political standing.
