John Austin
Spreading Opportunity – Strengthening Democracy
During my tenure at the NRW Academy of International Affairs, I will build out Heartlands Transformation Network, conduct and deliver additional original research and insights into effective economic regeneration of heartland regions, and address key issues confronting policy makers and economic development and structural change managers in countries of North America and Europe. All designed to spread economic opportunity and strengthen democracies and our transatlantic alliance.
