UBC students, join us to explore the G20 as a global governance mechanism and the relationship of domestic politics to international leadership. Ultimately, global leadership is political. When domestic politics turn inward and when people feel left out of the benefits of the economic system, global leadership becomes all the more necessary, but all the more difficult. How do we go from Brexit to what?
Tuesday, October 4th
11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Room 120, C.K. Choi Building, 1855 West Mall
