A project to explore the implications of the loss of U.S. economic capability and leadership relative to other countries on issues such as national security, unemployment or underemployment of the U.S. workforce, and international development and global stability.
Description
An ad hoc committee, under the auspices of the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) in cooperation with the Committee on Science, Technology, and Law (CSTL), will explore the implications of the loss of U.S. economic capability and leadership relative to other countries on issues such as national security, unemployment or underemployment of the U.S. workforce, and international development and global stability. The committee will convene a series of public workshops to help gather information and produce a consensus report with findings and recommendations to: 1) draw attention to the most overlooked challenges, based on current research on U.S. competitiveness and trade, technology, and innovation policies; 2) develop a future agenda for needed research in areas that have not been fully explored; 3) identify current government infrastructure that hinders the United States' ability to address these challenges; and 4) produce recommendations for the federal government to effectively meet these challenges.
In addition to a consensus report, a proceedings of each of the public workshop presentations and discussions may be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
