Abstract

This one-and-a-half conference focuses on a range of contemporary debates on global governance: How has the global economic governance architecture evolved in recent years? How have established international financial institutions responded to challenges of relevance and legitimacy? How have rising powers sought to alter global economic governance arrangements and how have developed countries reacted?

This one-day conference, organized by the Chatham House Centre on Global Health Security, aims to address themes surrounding the role of the private sector in global health initiatives.
