Transitions to a future economy

This project collects multiple perspectives on possible transitions to a future economy. These perspectives will offer views on what a future GCR economy might look like, and viable routes to this future, considering issues such as the meaning of a green economy, the youth unemployment crisis, the GCR’s place in the unfolding global strategies of major economic powers, the city-region’s vulnerability to future economic shocks, and the viability of different state-led economic adjustment options to counter negative structural trends. This project will have two outputs. On the one hand we will commission from leading thinkers a series of short op-ed pieces (similar to those produced by http://www.project-syndicate.org/). On the other we will host a series of strategic dialogues between academics and key decision-makers and officials from the region’s governments.
