February, the 7th, 4:00 PM CET on YouTube | Reboot Dialogue #22International Cooperation at a Time of LocalisationJohn Bunzl (UK) in conversation with Nico Andreas HellerFirst the pandemic and then the war in Ukraine disrupted international trade and fragmented global supply chains to such an extent that many countries, including the US, have started localising their economies, strategically important industries in particular. In this talk we look at the impact these developments are having on intergovernmental multilateral initiatives and explore how international cooperation might be improved in the longer term through transnational solutions such as SIMPOL, which counters destructive global competition through ‘simultaneous policy making’. SIMPOL has supporters in over 100 countries and enjoys the backing of a growing number of parliamentarians around the world. More information about John Bunzl who founded SIMPOL in 2000 is available here.
