The 2018 Harold Wincott Annual Memorial Lecture, entitled “Can Multilateralism Survive?”, was given on Tuesday, 6 November, 2018 at Chatham House by Prof Jean Pisani-Ferry, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa Professor at the European University Institute in Florence.
Professor Pisani-Ferry’s lecture was followed by a response from Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government.
