GTIPA-member reports in this category examine a variety of facets of international economic institutions, from WTO reform to the effect of regional development banks.

Autocratization and the decline of international cooperation

The last decade has not been favorable to democracy worldwide. The rise of right-wing populists and the hardening of autocratic rule have left clear imprints. The Bertelsmann Stiftung's Transformation Index (BTI) traces this development for 137 developing countries and emerging economies, or four-fifths of the world's population. For this purpose, we provide more than 5,000 pages of country analyses and a comprehensive data package.

What is the agreement with the IMF for Argentines?

A positive expectation has been generated by the closing of the negotiation with the International Monetary Fund.

Now, does that mean that all the problems of the Argentines have been solved?

Or would it be wiser to simply resign ourselves to a significantly less relevant WTO and turn our attention instead to a discussion on how best to advance trade?

CANADIANS SUPPORT A STRONGER, MORE PRINCIPLED FOREIGN POLICY: MLI'S ANNUAL FOREIGN POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS SURVEY

Foreign policy received little attention from Canada’s political leaders in the 2021 federal election. While such an oversight may be predictable, it is also unfortunate – as the very future of our country is being shaped and defined by foreign affairs.
