About this wiki:
Here we look at important global issues and macro-trends, many of which become topics of discussion at our upcoming Summits (our study abroad programs)
This wiki is... both an online digital textbook, and a collection of notes about global trends, events, places and organizations. This is a resource for students taking courses with Summit Study Abroad. The wiki is made entirely of student-generated content. It is here for students to use as they study, and to share what they read and hear in class with one another.
If you are a student of one of our courses, we welcome you to contribute to this wiki. Please log in, and share your knowledge. Professors looking to contribute to course design should log in here
Underlying Trends that are Shaping our World Today
Welcome to our ongoing discussion of global "macro" trends that we think are the most important to keep an eye on. We are interested in global trends, how they happened, and in predicting their likely outcome...
Note:
- Trends we consider: political, economic, financial, social, international
- Trends we do NOT consider: local trends, consumer trends, marketing trends, fashion trends (better to find another website for these :-)
- We like debates, and we are interested in Global Issues, so we welcome a variety of viewpoints.
- Inclusion of material on this website definitely does NOT equal endorsement of ideas.

The wiki is entirely student-generated content, a way for students to share what they read and hear in class with one another. If you are a student of one of our courses, we welcome you to contribute to this wiki. Please log in, and share your knowledge...
In this wiki, you will find a collection of the professor's notes on a variety of global issues, with a focus on international finance, international relations, politics and business. Clearly not all of the content is our own. There have been many contributors to this site, and our role is just to moderate the content and make sure it fits the "GloboTrends" theme. We try to link properly and send readers to other interesting news sites. If you see any inappropriate material, please let us know.
