The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a Director's Seminar with Pascal Lamy, former General Director for the World Trade Organization, in the Belfer Center Library (L369).
In a recent op-ed, Mr. Lamy commented on the recent competing values of emerging economies, “In 2014 and beyond, all parties must recognize that, in a multipolar world, an international trading system based on an updated set of rules is the least risky means of pursuing their growth objectives.” Live Mint
