Global Futures: The Chatham House Annual Conference

Chatham House's Annual Conference on Global Futures will focus on issues of global importance each year. Drawing on Chatham House's extensive range of contacts and its adventurous thinking on international political, economic and geopolitical issues, this annual event offers you the opportunity to hear from, and engage in debate with, leaders from governments, business and international organizations as well as expert commentators.

This event, primarily for Chatham House members and Chatham House Foundation Fellows, will take advantage of our independent stance and unparalleled convening power to provide new insights and high level debate on the most crucial issues facing the world today.

2008 Conference:

Thursday 13 November 2008
Global Futures: The Chatham House Annual Conference
Globalization at the Tipping Point?

This year's conference will ask whether the most recent wave of globalization - the growing interdependence of societies and economies through the opening of markets and borders - has reached a turning point, marked by the crisis in financial markets and an increase in protectionist rhetoric.

The arrival of a new US administration in Washington, new questions about globalization in the EU, the continuing rise of China and India, combined with financial instability in the West, and increased competition for resources globally, make this a significant moment to review the likely future course of this third wave of globalization of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS BEING ORGANIZED BY THE CONFERENCE UNIT.
