In the past few decades, globalisation and trade have been widely regarded as driving forces for global prosperity. Recently, however, globalisation has faced significant challenges and threats. What is the cause for this change? Should we still continue to pursue globalisation in the future?

Join us as Mr. Pascal Lamy, former Director General of the World Trade Organization, and Professor Dingbo Xu of CElBS take part in a dialogue to share their thoughts on these complex questions.
