Gallagher Named Co-Chair of T20 Task Force
Kevin Gallagher, Professor of Global Development Policy and Director of the Global Development Policy Center at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was named as the co-chair of the T20 task force on International Financial Architecture for Stability and Development.
The T20 is the research and policy advice network for the G20 summit. Co-chairs for the ten T20 task forces were named as G20 presidency passed from Germany to Argentina.
The task forces aim to combine policy-driven topics arising from the priorities of the G20 Presidency, and think-tank-driven topics initiated by the think tanks and research organizations. Both types of topics are necessary to ensure the policy relevance of task force proposals and to allow for applied-research efforts on topics of long-term importance.
Gallagher is joined on the task force on International Financial Architecture for Stability and Development by Franco Bruni, Vice President and Co-Head of the Europe and Global Governance Center and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; Akshay Mathur, Head of Research and Geoeconomics Fellow at Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations; José Siaba Serrate, Consulting Member at the Argentine Council for International Relations (CARI); and Antonio Villafranca, Research Coordinator and Co-Head of the Europe and Global Governance Center at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI).
Gallagher served on the U.S. Department of State’s Investment Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy and the International Investment Division of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. He has served as a visiting or adjunct professor at the Paul Nitze School for Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University; El Colegio de Mexico in Mexico; Tsinghua University in China; and the Center for State and Society in Argentina.
