The Future of the Global Development Ecosystem

Overview

Over the last sixty years, the international development community has undergone a radical transformation.

Global poverty alleviation is no longer the exclusive domain of the developed world officials; it has now been democratized and intensified.

We cannot ignore the central reality in the midst of the debate, fears, political polarization, and regrets surrounding globalization: much of it is irreversible or even resistible.

As in the other periods of human history where new connections between geographies and civilizations are formed-whether through empire building, technological change, regime change, climate change-driven, etc. once opened, cannot be closed.

The flow of goods, services, people, and capital will continue across borders, expanding to include previously isolated parts of the world.

This webinar will explore insights into the key drivers of the global development architecture.

  • What will drive the future of globalization?
  • Where does this leave us? Long-term policy and institutional implications
  • What would a new system look like?
