It would be wildly optimistic to predict, even to hope, that multilateral institutions will be upgraded by great powers to better cope with future shocks. While the IMF has temporarily restored its relevance, macroprudential supervision will fall by the wayside. The World Bank is woefully slow and underresourced. The most optimistic scenario, then, is a revival of regional organizations. The EU has a chance to bring about the fiscal union it needs more than ever, but it remains unclear whether it will take it.
Asian countries have just passed a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership RCEP and will need to deepen their internal trade to cope with the global demand shock. Regionalization will be the new globalization. What investments can we make or deepen today to blunt the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and steer the future in a more stable and sustainable direction?
Greater investment in biotechnology and healthcare are obvious places to start—but not in their current form. Healthcare is being defined as a social good worldwide as is already the case in Europe , but its cost is coming under scrutiny. Cost-effective universal provision can only be achieved through a model that emphasizes telemedicine and localized clinics and treatment centers.
The push being made in this direction even in poor countries such as India and Indonesia may be instructive for much of the world. Along similar lines, private education will receive substantially more investment given its strong performance during the crisis, but with a focus on digital delivery. This in turn should demonstrate how broad innovation in public education can be achieved cost-effectively as well.
Digitization of financial services, which had already mushroomed prior to the pandemic, should be pushed to every living person in its wake. Neither widening inequality nor anemic consumption can be overcome without it. Moving forward, public- and private-sector leaders will have to accept a far greater agency in defining long-term priorities such as combating climate change and communicating the short-term sacrifices necessary to achieve them.
Incentives will have to be realigned, with governments subsidizing investments in sustainability—and markets rewarding those firms that achieve revenue with resilience. Bush gives a speech to Congress detailing the possibilities for global cooperation and internationalism in the post—Cold War world.
A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order. The close of the Cold War introduces a new panic: The new New World Order, announced by globalization and nafta-style borderlessness, comes into focus.
February 28, The headquarters of the NWO opens a. Denver International airport. Borrell himself insists the EU is finding its feet after a rocky start and the case for cooperation is being won.
The world initially met the crisis in an uncoordinated fashion, with too many countries ignoring the warning signs and going it alone.
It is now clear that the only way out of it is together. He may be proved right, but at the moment the scales are evenly balanced. There is, as yet, a world still to be won. Coronavirus: who will be winners and losers in new world order? How coronavirus triggered global war of competing narratives Illustration: Guardian Design. Are state responses to the virus shifting the balance of power between China and the west?

Add to that, emissions rose during the first Trudeau mandate and we are way off course for the pitiful greenhouse gas reduction target for , the same target as that of the Harper administration.
On the migration to clean tech, Canada remains at the bottom of the heap among developed nations. Mr Dubitsky raises valid points in his post. The article misses on some important points when addressing Canada and the United States. Comments on Trudeau leave out many points that are questionable. What is Trudeau's true motives, he talks a good story on COVID, and for the most part will get good marks; however, at the same time he is pushing hard in the diplomatic circles to get Canada a seat on the Security Council just as he was doing prior to the COVID pandemic coming into view.
I question his true goals in much of what he does. More critical reporting needs to be done on what is happening in Canada. All the citizens will get are a milder version of Trump with no desire on the Democratic Party to tackle the deep seated problems in the Country.
IN short more of the same old democratic party agenda. The US has not "transformed. Number 45 was "elected" with less than half the vote due to the electoral college system. Journalists, please stop promoting the fantasy that North America has a fair voting system that reflects the will of the people.
