Professor Nicolas Lamp, Queen’s University, Ontario will join us at the BRLSI via livestream from Canada to give a talk on his book ‘The six faces of Globalisation’.

Globalisation has lifted millions out of poverty. Globalisation is a weapon the rich use to exploit the poor. Globalisation builds bridges across national boundaries. Globalisation fuels the populism and great-power competition that is tearing the world apart.  When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are dug in, producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims, unlikely alliances, and unexpected foes.

But what exactly are we fighting about? And how might we approach these issues more productively? Instead of picking sides,

Six Faces of Globalisation gives all these positions their due, showing how each deploys sophisticated arguments and compelling evidence. Both globalisation’s boosters and detractors will come away with their eyes opened. By isolating the fundamental value conflicts―growth versus sustainability, efficiency versus social stability―driving disagreement and show where rival narratives converge, authors Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp provide a holistic framework for understanding current debates. In doing so, they showcase a more integrative way of thinking about complex problems. 

Speaker: Professor Nicolas Lamp, Queen’s University, Ontario
