Angie Drobnic Holan, editor-in-chief of PolitiFact, joins us for a conversation about COVID-19 and the power social media platforms have when it comes to shaping the flow of information during a pandemic.
Long before the pandemic, there was a growing need to rethink global institutions for a world of intangibles. Now, that process is being accelerated. CIGI's Rohinton P. Medhora and Taylor Owen discuss how COVID-19 could usher in a period in which the Bretton Woods institutions — the pillars of global governance since World War II — will be judged and most likely reinvented.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is experiencing a crisis of legitimacy — trade wars rage on and the Appellate Body is unable to function. In this essay series, authors examine where the WTO is falling short, consider the opportunities that lie ahead and discuss options for a modernized WTO.
Women's entrepreneurship and exports can drive growth and economic success. But, as Laura Lane and Penelope Naas write, until everyone can engage equally in international trade, a great deal of economic potential will remain untapped.
Global trade has slowed dramatically. Jim Stanford argues that if the WTO is to regain the legitimacy and buy-in that are essential to its future, it must abandon its broader ambition to enforce a worldwide pro-business agenda.
In this video, Oonagh Fitzgerald explains how the Dispute Settlement Understanding functions and considers how the WTO could end the ongoing Appellate Body paralysis.
May 7 – 7:00 p.m. EDT (UTC–04:00): In a virtual edition of our community event series, CIGI's Aaron Shull will lead a discussion on the role think tanks can play during times of global crisis. The event will close with a question period and will be hosted as a Zoom video conference.
