Last Friday, I attended the TRA conference and got to ask Professor Krasner for some advice regarding school decisions. We had a nice conversation and he offered some wonderful insights --perspectives from a top US political science professor is especially valuable here in Taiwan now.

If anyone would like a scanned text of Krasner's speech or the papers of other presenters, please let me know, I can e-mail them to you.
