This event marks the launch of New World, New Rules by George Papaconstantinou and Jean Pisani-Ferry, in which two of European policymakers and analysts outline a new agenda for global governance.
In the book, they examine governance practices across several key policy areas – climate, health, trade and competition, banking and finance, taxation, migration and the digital economy – and consider what works and what doesn't, and why. The global governance solutions they put forward are ambitious but pragmatic. They require complexity, flexibility and compromise. Attributes that global governments are demonstrably short of, but today's global crises urgently demand.
