				Welcome Presentation and Introduction by Prof. Dr. Werner Weidenfeld Real Audio Presentation (15:12 min) (Installation Guide) Aims of the Forum Werner Weidenfeld, director of the Center for Applied Policy Research, who organized the conference, talked about the aims of the Triangle Forum. He said the main objectives were: 1) to find out what factors will shape society in the foreseeable future: 2 ) to address the driving forces of change; and 3) to come up with adequate strategies to cope with the changes. Mr. Weidenfeld said that the Triangle Forum was unique because representatives from three continents - Asia, American, and Europe - were taking part. He went on to discuss the main points of the discussion paper handed out to participants before the conference. The paper addressed such issues as globalization versus regionalization, and erosion of national states vs. internationalism, among other things. Weidenfeld said the conference was "just one segment in a permanent working process."
