Current shifts in global economic governance
Trade has been an engine for economic growth in the post-war period, helping to reshape the global economic landscape. But today new dynamics are rapidly shifting world trading system. Major powers like the USA, China, and Europe are changing their roles in global trade, leaving the future of the regime in question. A critical – but often under-appreciated – question amongst these shifts is the potential role of the broader developing world. Could the increasingly strained global trading system be turned into a tool for development?
Susana Malcorra was Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of the Argentina Republic until July 2017. After stepping down, she became Minister Advisor to the President until December 2017, presiding over the Eleventh WTO Ministerial Conference held in Buenos Aires. In April 2012, Ms. Malcorra became Chief of Staff to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Among other salient tasks, Ms. Malcorra coordinated the Missions to eliminate the Syrian Chemical Weapons and to respond to the Ebola Emergency in West Africa. Women’s leadership and empowerment are at the centre of her work.
