Governing the global economy: Protectionism vs Bretton Woods 2.0

Part 1 | Part 2

Perceived failures of the current world worder have increased demands for a new international economic architecture to replace the 60-year-old Bretton Woods system. This panel addresses the current and possible future roles of institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, G-20, APEC and the EU; and it considers the threat of a spiral of economic nationalism/protectionism. Hosted by ABC's Ali Moore, the panel comprises: Peter Hartcher, Sydney Morning Herald; Robert Lawrence, Prof. of Intl Trade and Investment at Harvard; and Tim Harcourt, Chief Economist at Austrade.

The session took place as part of the National Summit 2009: Sustainable Globalisation - Will it survive the GFC?, hosted by the United States Studies Centre and the Harvard University Committee on Australian Studies.
