DESCRIPTION:This talk by Mark Lloyd is part of our Fall 2019 Policy Lecture
  series. These academic talks are intended for Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ students and faculty
 .\n\nThe societies of the 21st Century are no longer dominated by the prer
 ogatives of nation states. Though media headlines would suggest otherwise:
  Russia Interferes with Germany Election\; Trump Threatens Canada with Tar
 iffs\, Saudi Warplanes Still Bomb Civilians in Yemen! Still\, Apple’s expo
 rtation of manufacturing jobs to the global south and east\, the migration
  of embattled populations from the south to the north\, the global influen
 ce of Hollywood\, as well as social media disruption in Britain and India 
 suggest something else is afoot. If only considering the latest United Nat
 ions report on global climate change\, we are clearly a more networked soc
 iety. Given the U.S. vulnerability to Murdoch’s News Corporation and Zucke
 rberg’s Facebook\, what could smaller\, less powerful nation states such a
 s New Zealand or Indonesia or Canada possibly do? Is the nation state irre
 levant in a global networked society? If not\, what role can and should th
 e nation state play\, particularly regarding communication?\n\nRegister He
