This paper builds on the author’s interviews of opinion leaders and ordinary people about globalization in Asian countries, carried out as a Fellow of the New America Foundation in late 2001. The result, to be published as a book by Knopf in late 2002 under the title Being America: Liberty, Commerce, and Violence in an American World, shows wide and often paradoxical attitudes toward globalization. The work also gives insight into how people in Asian countries see the United States — with an unstable combination of attraction, resentment, and bewilderment. At the end of the session, participants can expect to know more about how key groups in India, Indonesia, and China see globalization and its effects on them, and how they believe their governments, the United States, and the world community should respond to the phenomenon of globalization. The talk will also address the somewhat misplaced question, “Why do they hate us?” by parsing the relationship between admiration and hostility toward the United States abroad.
