Roosevelt Policy Academy Fellows: Research assistant: Chinese and Japanese Trade Policy Economic issues such as free trade and the tremendous impact of China and Japan on the global economy have been much discussed recently, especially by the 2008 presidential campaigns. Given the importance of the topic and its currency, PPI is undertaking research on Chinese and Japanese trade policy. The research will focus on China's free trade agreements and the power this gives China to formulate a global economic strategy. PPI is looking for a Roosevelt Policy Academy fellow to assist with the research for this project. It is strongly preferred that applicants have Chinese language skills. Research assistant: Counterfeiting Native American art and intellectual property In today’s global economy, defending intellectual property rights is complex and often controversial—as the debate over DVD piracy in China has shown. PPI is studying the issue of defending intellectual property rights, and looking at ways of “democratizing” those rights. In this effort, PPI is researching the case of Native Americans, whose art and intellectual property is pirated on a massive scale. While many Native Americans live in poverty, outside enterprises have created a large business of selling counterfeit Native American crafts. PPI is looking for a Roosevelt Policy Academy fellow to assist with the research for this project.
