SUMMARY:E-Commerce and Local Politics: How Online Business Is Reshaping Civic Engagement
DESCRIPTION:The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech will host a public talk examining how the rise of e-commerce is transforming not just business models\, but also local political engagement.
