Editor’s note
Originally, this interview ran on the Rorotoko cover page under the headline
“California at the boundary between international and domestic affairs.”
We highlighted two quotes.
On the first page:
“Leadership in the twenty-first century will take concerted action by California’s state and local authorities, its representatives in Congress, and many non-governmental actors.”
On the second:
“Too much is at stake for Californians to leave thinking and acting on international affairs to the federal government and to East Coast think tanks.”
