A World Connected: How Traders, Preachers, Warriors, and Adventurers Shaped Globalization

with

Nayan Chanda
Director of Publications, Yale Center for the Study of Globalization

Nayan Chanda has been the director of publications at the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization since 2001. Prior to that, Mr. Chanda held a variety of positions at the Far Eastern Economic Review, including Indochina correspondent, diplomatic correspondent, Washington correspondent, deputy editor, editor, and editor at large. Occasional contributor to the International Herald Tribune and the Washington Post, Chanda is also a fellow of the Saybrook College, Yale University. He is a nonresident senior fellow of the Brookings Institution and a member of the Advisory Council for Brookings Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies. He is a member of the editorial boards of GlobalAsia and New Global Studies journal and was the winner of the 2005 Shorenstein Award for Journalism presented not only for a distinguished body of work, but also for the particular way it has helped an American audience understand the complexities of Asia.

Chanda is the author of numerous publications.  His latest book, Bound Together: How Traders, Preachers, Adventurers and Warriors Shaped Globalization, will be the subject of his talk.  In his book, Mr. Chanda argues that what is called globalization today is only an accelerated version of an old trend that saw ceaseless movement of people - traders, preachers, adventurers and warriors - seeking profit, adventure, fulfilling life and domination. In recent decades the historical trend of interconnection has been accelerated, becoming more intense and more visible, thus making it necessary to use a term like “globalization” to describe the phenomenon.
