Duncan Green introduces a recent paper on COVID-19 as a 'critical juncture' and an open webinar to discuss its ideas next week hosted by Global Policy.

My LSE students are a challenging lot (not as in ‘problem’, as in ‘challenging’) and their questions got me thinking about COVID-19 as a critical juncture. The result is a short-ish (12 page) paper (much improved by the students’ comments on earlier drafts) available here.

Below are some extracts from the paper (only a fraction of the full piece so please don’t say ‘you haven’t discussed X’ without checking!). Please send comments.

If you're interested, I will also be discussing it with Eva-Maria Nag (Durham), Alcinda Honwana (LSE) and Dan Banik (University of Oslo) during an open webinar next Wednesday (8th April) 2.30-3.30pm UK time. Here are the details to join:
