Professor Ngaire Woods
Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government, Oxford University
Today we will discuss the state of global governance post Covid with Professor Ngaire Woods.
Why has international cooperation been so poor during the crisis and how will that affect our exit strategies? What does the pandemic mean for the role of the state and those working within government? How will the relationship between the state and business change, going forward? And how does Covid affect the prospects of the global south?
