March 26th, 2025 - 12 pm - on Zoom - The Current Changes in Global Economic Governance with Prof. Hagen Schulz-Forberg

Abstract: Arguably, we are experiencing a moment of tectonic shift in global economic governance at this very moment. Coupled with territorial claims and efforts at delegitimizing existing international institutions, their policies, practices and networks of expertise, the future is wide open. Looking into the past hundred years of global economic governance, one might identify three seemingly simple yet helpful ways to assess how a shift in economic governance occurs: it was decidedly more endogenous than exogenous, it needed a deep-cutting crises as an amplifier of change, and it needed an institutional landscape within which to inflict the change. I will elaborate my ideas on historical change along these three broad markers and end by putting these three onto today’s experience of disruption, as asking more questions than having the answers.
