Join our Kapuscinski Development Lecture with Beata Javorcik live on 6 April

Lecture with Beata Javorcik

Join our #KAPTalks live with Chief Economist of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Beata Javorcik, to discuss what are the forces that will shape globalization after Covid-19.

The event takes place on Wednesday, 6 April at 14.00 CET / 12.00 GMT.  

Globalisation after COVID: Business as usual, or not?

As the world comes out of the Covid-19 pandemic, what are the major forces that will shape globalization?

Will the more prominent role of the state undermine the level playing field? Will global value chains be reshuffled? How will policies to combat climate change affect cross-border flows of goods and investment? Does digitalisation matter for international trade and within country inequality?  

Join #KAPTalks lecturer Beata Javorcik, Chief economist for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, to discuss how the world recovers from the economic pains of the pandemic and whether it does so with a new approach.

Hosted by Gothenburg School of Economics

The Kapuscinski Development Lectures is an initiative funded by the European Commission.
