Can multilateral institutions remain relevant in an era of increasing divisions and shifting alignments? In dialogue with Mr. Ronnie Chan, Chairman of Asia Society Hong Kong Center, Professor NgaireWoods, founding Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government and Professor of Global Economic Governance at Oxford University, will explore these questions and what these developments mean for the future of globalization and the ‘rules-based international order’. |
