Charting the Future: The Need for Transparency and Participation in Global Economic Policy

Join our board member Jenina Joy Chavez, who was also a former colleague at Focus on the Global South specializing in international financial institutions, alternative regionalisms, and the transitional economies of Southeast Asia, as she explores the complex effects of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) on global economic patterns.
In this video, Chavez highlights the critical importance of transparency and participation in policymaking processes. She discusses how global financial practices have placed undue burdens on countries with limited resources, leading to a cycle of debt that exacerbates inequality and hampers development. Chavez calls for an inclusive approach to economic policy, urging for the integration of diverse perspectives to foster more sustainable and just global financial systems. Explore the ways in which informed participation and openness can combat authoritarian tendencies and promote a more equitable world.
