Seminars at Chatham House on Subsidiarity in the Governance of the Global Economy

A series of discussion meetings on ‘subsidiarity on the global economy’ is now underway at Chatham House. These sessions are being jointly organised by the International Economics Programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) and the Centre for Research on the USA, and are partly funded by the GEI Programme.

Sessions held so far include discussions on Trade and Labour Standards led by Dr. Stephen Woolcock of the London School of Economics (18 October); and on Tax and Investment, led by Dr. Michael Hodges, also from the LSE (on 21 November)

Two further meetings are planned. On Wednesday 13 December Dr Peter Holmes of Sussex University will talk on Trade and Competition. (There is an article on this subject elsewhere in this Newsletter). And on Wednesday January 31, 1996, Stephen Woolcock will lead the last meeting, this time on ‘Environment and the WTO’.
