The Warwick Commission on International Financial Reform - WBS Dean speaks in China

The Warwick Commission on International Financial Reform, launched in 2009, brings together a range of world-class economists, political scientists, and lawyers from both the scholarly and policy worlds to explore how international financial reform can move beyond questions of architecture and towards how it may be possible to build consensus.

The Commission is especially concerned with the political economy of reform, focusing explicitly on the politics of the crisis and its links to the real economy in OECD economies, as well as questions of representation for Emerging Market Economies within international financial reform debates.

On Wednesday 30 June, leading members of the Commission met at the St Regis Hotel, Beijing, China. Under the title In Praise of Unlevel Playing Fields presenters were Warwick Professors Richard Higgott, Mark Taylor, Dean of WBS, and Len Seabrooke, and responding to the Commission was H E Ma Zhengang, former Chinese Ambassador to the UK.

The event was attended by local business leaders, Warwick alumni and students.
