In fifteen minutes our Director, Ian Goldin, busts some of the common myths about migration. It is clear, concise and an absolute must-watch if you want to be informed about this issue.
Professor Ian Goldin discusses the themes arising in his book ‘Exceptional People’ with IMI’s Hein de Haas. Ian’s book looks at the profound advantages that migration will have for countries and migrants the world over. He challenges the received wisdom that a dramatic growth in migration is undesirable, and proposes that new approaches for governance should embrace this international mobility.
‘From systemic risks to systemic opportunities’ was the focus of the University of Oxford IdeasLab at the World Economic Forum in Davos 2013. Academics from the Oxford Martin School debated five key ideas:

The growing gap between global problems and solutions reflects a crisis in global governance. Professor Ian Goldin will present ideas from his latest book, Divided Nations: Why global governance is failing and what can be done about it? The discussion will focus on the financial crisis, the internet, pandemics, migration and climate change to highlight the need for urgent global action and provide proposals as to what is to be done.
