Vienna Global Forum

In the 7th episode of the Vienna Global Forum podcast series, we invite economist Jayati Ghosh to look beyond the traditional questions of trade, finance and development to examine some of the issues that were largely absent from the original NIEO agenda: gender inequality, unpaid care work, environmental degradation, climate change, and the growing concentration of wealth and power.

Short Talks is a new interview series by the Vienna Global Forum, bringing together leading thinkers and policymakers to discuss the most pressing global issues in concise, thought-provoking conversations. Check out the new episodes here.

Based on the first workshop of the Vienna Global Forum that took place in July at the Bruno Kreisky Forum in Vienna, Master student and ÖFSE-intern Anamaria Copilau wrote an article on the lessons from the New International Economic Order (NIEO) for the A&W Blog. The article reflects on the origin and vision of the NIEO and asks how much remains of the project today in the form of BRICS and other alliances. You can read the piece in German here.
