ABC money economy
Introduction Each week we'll publish new teaching and learning activities to accompany the current program in the 'Money, Markets & the Economy' series. A central index to the material will build below. The files can also be accessed via the program summaries page. The educational activities on this site are intended to help teachers and students focus on key aspects of each radio program. As such, they will help develop students' economic literacy. The educational material has been devised by Anita Forsyth from Monash University. If you'd like some more details about how the material is structured, please visit our information page.

Eurasia Group
It's 2013. We've made it. For those of us watching from the United States, the last few days of 2012 (to say nothing of the first couple of this year) were touch and go. Political risk has entered our vocabulary. That's been increasingly true for the last four years because of the way perceptions of political risk have spread across the developed world. In responding to the worst economic slowdown since the great depression, it's no surprise that political risk has come to the fore. When I started Eurasia Group in 1998, we focused on emerging markets. Indeed, it's more important now than ever before. And so the top risk this year is: 1 - Emerging markets: not less risky For the past four years, we've been uncritically thankful for the emerging markets. Emerging markets will have much more volatility and instability than the advanced industrial democracies. A - becoming developed. B - still emerging--and problematically so. C - backsliding. 2 - China vs information None of these are new.

The Futures Initiative is designed to enable scientists from different disciplines to focus on new questions, upon which they can base entirely new research, and to encourage and reward outstanding communication between scientists as well as between the scientific enterprise and the public. The following information may be helpful in suggesting topics, specific instructions for which are provided below. Futures Conferences Futures Conferences are unique, bringing together some of the nation's best and brightest researchers from academic, industrial, and government laboratories to explore and discover interdisciplinary connections in important areas of cutting-edge research. Each year, researchers apply to attend the conference and some 100 outstanding researchers are invited to discuss ideas related to a single cross-disciplinary theme. Participants gain not only a wider perspective on the theme, but also new insights and techniques that might be applied to their own work.
