Participants included policy practitioners from the International Monetary Fund, policy experts, academics, non-government representatives, and Jennifer Jeffs, Senior Vice President of the Canadian International Council. CIGI speakers included: Bessma Momani, John Curtis, and Eric Helleiner.
This workshop was a project of the International Law, Institutions and Diplomacy working group.
