Yale Center for the Study of Globalization
The Yale Center for the Study of Globalization "will serve as a catalyst for research, writing, and teaching on globalization, utilizing Yale faculty and bringing to Yale distinguished scholars and practitioners of international affairs."
Background
Initial funding for the center was provided by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and "a gift from an individual donor."[1]
