Equitable Globalization?
The theme of this year's symposium is the Global Economy: Economic Freedom or Corporate Colonialism. As we all know, there is an ongoing process in our world today called globalization, and there is a great debate about its merits and demerits. Some believe the process to be inherently evil where rich oligarchs exploit the world's poor. Others see market-led globalization as a threat to American jobs.

Washington Post Op-ed: Still Seeking a Fair Florida Vote
After the debacle in Florida four years ago, former president Gerald Ford and I were asked to lead a blue-ribbon commission to recommend changes in the American electoral process. After months of concerted effort by a dedicated and bipartisan group of experts, we presented unanimous recommendations to the president and Congress. The government responded with the Help America Vote Act of October 2002. Unfortunately, however, many of the act's key provisions have not been implemented because of inadequate funding or political disputes.

One of the primary goals of modern society is to enhance a worldwide commitment to democracy.

Jimmy Carter: Surprisingly Fair Elections in Indonesia
In the United States, especially in Washington and in media reports, there is an obsession with violence and terrorism and a pervasive sense of confrontation between Christians and Muslims. This stereotyping extends to governance, with the generalized belief that Muslim societies are averse to truly democratic governance.

USA Today Op-ed: Inequitable Resources, Benefits Put World at Risk
The most serious and universal problem facing the world today is the growing chasm between the richest and poorest people on earth. Yet our political candidates and current leaders are failing to address this as both a moral concern and a national security priority. The war on terror cannot be won unless we devote more effort to equitably sharing resources and meeting social and economic needs worldwide.

Geneva Initiative Public Commitment Event: Remarks by Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
I want to express my gratitude and admiration to Yossi Beilin, Yasser Abed Rabbo, their fellow negotiators, and to Alexis Keller and Swiss officials for making this ceremony possible. Finding peace for Israelis and justice for the Palestinians has been a personal interest of mine for more than a quarter of a century, and I would like to make a few observations: 1.This Geneva initiative offers the crucial and unavoidable elements of a permanent peace in the Holy Land. There will be inevitable modifications to this agreement if and when official and sincere peace talks are ever conducted, but the basic premises must remain intact. The alternative is sustained and permanent violence.

Camp David Accords: Jimmy Carter Reflects 25 Years Later
I remember the earliest stages of my involvement in the Middle East. I took a trip over there with Jody Powell and Rosalynn in 1972 when I was governor, and we had a chance to travel around Israel and to try to understand the problems there. We spent about half the time looking at biblical places and half the time learning about what was going on between Israel and her neighbors after the wars that had attacked the existence of that nation.
