Institutional Diversity in the Governance of the Global Economy: New Actors, New Perpsectives

With support from CSGR and Griffith University, scholars from CSGR attended the AGORA II workshop in Brisbane at Griffith University.  This workshop was limited to twelve papers, including contributions from Louise Walker (CSGR); Leonard Seabrooke (CBS/CSGR); Jason Sharman (Griffith); Jeff Chwieroth (LSE), Kate Weaver (University of Texas at Austin); Kristen Hopewell (Michigan); Anja Jakobi (PRIF); Matias Margulis (McMaster); Daniel Mugge (University of Amsterdam); Brad Parks (LSE); and Wesley Widmaier (Griffith). The workshop was conducted against the tragic backdrop of the Brisbane flood. Still, it was an engaging and stimulating workshop for all concerned. AGORA III will be held at the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs later in 2011.
