Global Imbalances, Power Shifts and the Future of Multilateralism

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
1779 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, D.C.

Multilateral economic institutions are facing a period of unprecedented challenges — among these are large macroeconomic imbalances (including the US current account deficit), stalled negotiations at the WTO, and a much-reduced IMF. Three economists discussed some of these current challenges and their implications for economic growth and development.  The panel discussion was followed by a brief question and answer period.
