The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) invites you to a meeting to examine the policies that stimulate production and innovation in countries including Brazil, China, Germany and Russia. We will assess the competitive impact of such policies in these countries and in the global economy as a whole. We will also look at particular policy approaches and what they signal about the role of the market in driving new growth, as well as the overall global trend in economic development and growth.

This is the third session of a three-part series.

We will host a panel who will assess the following questions:

* What is the competitive environment in Brazil, China, Germany and Russia today and how has it evolved?
* What are their policy approaches for stimulating manufacturing?
* How is the policymaking environment responding to perceived successes and failures?
