Going glocal: empowering resilient communities

Globalisation has lifted millions, if not billions, of people out of poverty. But it has also torn societies apart, leading to political dislocation and the rise of populism. After decades of deindustrialisation, the financial crisis dialled up backlash against globalisation’s discontents. Without new skills or quality job opportunities readily available, the deepening of international trade and production ties has left many people exposed to the global economic elements. The result has been a rise in protectionism and an erosion of trust in domestic governments to respond effectively to shifting economic circumstances and technological change.

To what extent are inclusive growth strategies in developed and developing countries at the mercy of global economic forces? What role can international institutions such as the World Bank and IMF play? How can leaders at a national and local level enhance the resilience of their citizens and communities to global structural economic change? To what extent can local leaders shape their own economic destinies?
