Gallagher Teaches UNCTAD Summer School Course
Kevin Gallagher, Director of the Global Development Policy (GDP) Center and Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, taught a recent United Nations Conference on Trade and Development summer school course in Geneva, Switzerland on the crisis of multilateralism.
The school, which is co-sponsored with the Institute for New Economic Thinking, is an interdisciplinary academic forum that aims to provide participants with insights regarding current policy debates with regard to developing countries in which UNCTAD is engaged. The interdisciplinary approach aims to deliver an integral theoretical, historical, economic and policymaking perspective on the topics covered.
“One country cannot solve the global inequality and climate breakdown – nations need to coordinate and cooperate to succeed,” says @GDPC_BU‘s @KevinPGallagher at our 2019 #UNCTADSummerSchool, outlining the rationale behind the global #GreenNewDeal.
