About the Webinar
The recent policy shift of major world players during the past half-decade has been a pronounced veer towards an inward approach towards domestic priorities. This can be seen in Trump’s ‘America First’, United Kingdom’s “Brexit” and Modi’s “Atamnirbhar Push”. These can be characterized as representatives of a trend towards de-globalization.
The various multilateral organizations of the world like the United Nations and international financial institutions like the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund are premised upon increasing globalization, trade and cooperation amongst countries.
Hence, the stated aim of the multilateral organizations and the current trends are at odds with one another.
This is thus an opportune moment to discuss the relevance of these organizations in the present day with the help of the discussion laid down by Mr. Vikram Raghavan.
