Agata Antkiewicz, Background

Leaving her native Poland in 2003 with a B.A. and M.A. in economics (University of Wroclaw), Agata Antkiewicz joined CIGI in 2004 to help develop the organization’s expertise on emerging economies, specifically those of China and the other BRICSAM countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, the ASEAN countries and Mexico).

In this capacity, she collaborated with other CIGI experts to produce book chapters, peer reviewed journal articles and working papers that detailed the rise of emerging economies and their influence on the architecture of international governance. Agata contributed to the Canada Among Nations book series, Canada and the Middle East and has been published in the International Studies Review, Third World Quarterly, The World Economy and Studia Diplomatica.

From 2006 to 2008, Agata led CIGI’s Shifting Global Order Working Group, where she continued her policy-related research and also designed and implemented projects and events. She co-edited the book Emerging Powers in Global Governance in 2008, which was subsequently translated into Chinese. She also co-authored the CIGI ’09 conference report, Towards a Global New Deal, and has managed several CIGI signature conferences, including CIGI ’10: Climate of Action.

Agata lives in Waterloo, and instructs Krav Maga self-defence courses in her spare time. She is fluent in English and Polish.
