In this episode, we explore how we can build on lessons from the present for more effective global cooperation in the future. In an increasingly inter-connected world, what can be done on an intergovernmental level to improve existing systems and better manage future international crises? We discuss these pressing topics with Inge Kaul (Senior Fellow at the Hertie School and non-resident fellow at the Center for Global Development, Washington, DC), and Stephen L. Roberts (Lecturer in Global Health at the Institute for Global Health, University College London and Visiting Fellow in Global Health Policy at The London School of Economics and Political Science).
