Global Governance In Crisis

In this Podcast we interview Amelia Hadfield who is the Head of Politics at University of Surrey

As the world descends into crisis with pandemics, climate change and nuclear proliferation the world order seems unable to respond in a coherent way.

In this webinar we will discuss whether the global system of Governance that we have created since World War 2 is now fit for purpose. Is the United Nations able to fulfil the task of its charter and do organisations like the World Bank and the IMF reflect the needs of our world of turbulence.

We will discuss if there are other models that might offer some answers to the growing global chaos and whether one of the these is the Commonwealth model which emphasises collaboration, citizen involvement and learning.

Amelia joined the University of Surrey in January 2019 as Head of the Department of Politics, and Chair in European and International Affairs. She is a regular commentator on a wide range of media outlets, including: BBC World Service, BBC News24, Radio 5Live, BBC Radio London, BBC Asian Network, BBC Radio Ulster, Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC). TV appearances include BBC One, BBC News Channel, BBC Arab Network, Victoria Derbyshire Show, RussiaToday, and various outlets in Asia.
