Smile Southern California, You're the Center of the Universe:
The Economy and People of a Global Region by Flanigan and Global California:
Rising to the Cosmopolitan Challenge by Lowenthal (both by Stanford University Press)
Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti will moderate this discussion and talk about L.A.'s role as a global center. A fourth generation Angeleno, he became one of the youngest city councilmen in the city's history, and then became its president
For half a century, James Flanigan has been a journalist, columnist, editor, storyteller for Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and the Herald Tribune in Paris and New York. He has covered economies of countries stretching from Europe to Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. He currently writes a periodic column that appears in the New York Times.
Lowenthal, Professor of International Relations at USC and president emeritus of the Pacific Council on International Policy, has combined two different but intersecting careers: as a scholar with a dozen well-regarded books on Latin America and inter-American affairs and U.S. foreign policy, and as a founder of think tanks at the nexus between the worlds of ideas and actions, including the Inter-American Dialogue in Washington and the Pacific Council, a West Coast leadership forum.
