"The Americas and the New World Order":

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and fifteen years after the policies of the World Trade Organization (WTO) came into effect, international contexts, in the
geopolitical and economic spheres, are undergoing a major transformation which, while sparking numerous concerns, also fosters high hopes for the creation of a fairer, more balanced world economic order. How can the Americas make changes to play their part in the establishment of a more stable, and fair, basis for international prosperity? Is this the end of the American order?

Speaker:
Madeleine Albright, Former U.S. Secretary of State
