Summary "In June and July, The Institute for Policy Studies invited sixty-eight of the world's leading thinkers and activists to participate in eight in-depth discussions on Zoom. Their task: to assess the implications of COVID-19 for key global issues as well as the potential for transformative change coming out of this crisis. They discussed a Green recovery, the global economy, coronavirus authoritarianism, migrants and refugees, budget priorities, the global ceasefire, international civil society, and multilateral cooperation. This report from the front lines of global policy stands in stark contrast to the reality in the world today. Reading it amounts to a return to sanity and human governance, and illuminates the way forward that is still possible if we begin soon"--Page 4 of cover.
