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 be nefits of the economic system\, global leadership becomes all the more nece ssary\, but all the more difficult. How do we go from Brexit to what?
