Channel: Rethinking the State
Date: 2013-12-10

Ngaire Woods (Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford) spoke about three issues affecting global institutions since 2008. The first issue relates to global regulations. The second issue is about the 'global fire fighting' capacity and the IMF. And the final issue relates to the World Bank, whose importance has been diminishing in recent years.

The workshop on Financial Governance for Innovation and Social Inclusion brought together international economists working on issues related to "Reorienting Financial Reform" and "Re-shaping Financial Institutions for Innovation and Development" - under the Reforming Global Financial Governance initiative of the Ford Foundation. 

On Day 1, the workshop kicked off with a policy dialogue in UK House of Commons (Parliament), hosted by Shadow Business Minister Chi Onwurah MP and attended by parliamentarians, policy-makers, civil society organisations and the media. The discussion considered how financial governance for innovation and social inclusion is a key policy priority in order to make sure that innovation is not only smart, but also inclusive and sustainable.
