Venue: McEwan Auditorium, Schulich School of Business, York University
This one-day landmark public event brings to York University some of the world’s leading thinkers on globalization, global society, political economy, law and international relations to consider prospects for global governance.
The speakers will reflect critically on the principal institutions and practices of governance associated with efforts to stabilize, modify and legitimate the global status quo. They will seek to demystify the power relations between leaders and led associated with those practices. They will provide an assessment of the potential for future changes in those relations, including how subaltern forces may be challenging the necessity, desirability and 
sustainability of existing institutional, legal and political arrangements in light of global economic, social and ecological crises.
This event will be open to the public but all attending must register in advance.
