Leadership in Modern Multilateralism

Описание: The full video of our latest Library Talk, Leadership in Modern Multilateralism.

Recorded on Tuesday 12 March 2019 at the United Nations Library at Geneva.

Multilateralism is the most logical approach to the challenges the world is facing in our time of fast-paced globalization. Despite mounting nationalism and criticism, there is no valid alternative to international cooperation. This debate will explore the principles and ideas underpinning multilateralism against a complex background of climate change, the rise of technology and the future of the global economy. It will also discuss the role of eminent personalities who shaped international affairs and how the nature of leadership has changed in the 21st century, with the rise of modern multilateralism.
