30 May Goodbye Globalisation: A Conversation with Elisabeth Braw
The British Foreign Policy Group is delighted to welcome Elisabeth Braw, national security and global economy expert, and author of the award-winning “Goodbye Globalization: The Return of a Divided World”, for a frank exploration of the state of globalisation today, and the serious challenges that its fracturing will bring for the world economy.
In her work, Elisabeth explores how a profound shift has taken place in recent years. Global supply chains are imperilled, Russia has been expelled from the global economy, and China is using these fissures for strategic advantage. This event will explore what our global economy will look like in the future, as we look to re-enter a splintered state of globalisation.
This event will bring together an audience of UK-based experts, academics, policymakers, business- and thought-leaders. Books will be available for purchase at this event.

DATE: Thursday 11th July
