Global Imbalances, Power Shifts and the Future of Multilateralism

If anyone is in DC on the 12th:

GLOBAL IMBALANCES, POWER SHIFTS, AND THE FUTURE OF MULTILATERALISM

The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) is pleased to invite you to the seminar Global Imbalances, Power Shifts and the Future of Multilateralism, a discussion featuring:

· Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate economist, Columbia University

· José Antonio Ocampo, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs

· Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research

· Moderated by Edmund L. Andrews of The New York Times

Multilateral economic institutions are facing a period of unprecedented challenges -- among these are large macroeconomic imbalances (including the US current account deficit), stalled negotiations at the WTO, and a much-reduced IMF. These three economists will discuss some of these current challenges and their implications for economic growth and development.

The panel discussion will be followed by a brief question and answer period.
