The Europe Center invites you to this special event with Pasal Lamy, former Director-General of the World Trade Organization from 2005-2013 and currently the Honorary President of the Paris-based think tank, Notre Europe.

In particular, he will outline a statement of his own thinking about the future of global governance and international trade, and describe what remains to be done in addressing the challenges of globalization. Additionally, Mr. Lamy will reflect on the features of modern politics that create governance gridlock and thwart global oversight, and will identify how progress can be made in overcoming impediments to policy action at the international level.
