Join Hon. Donald J. Johnston for a talk on his latest book, Missing the Tide: Global Governments in Retreat, as part of the Atwater Library Lunchtime Series.
In Missing the Tide, Donald Johnston demonstrates that none of these opportunities achieved their objectives, and in some cases failed completely. Scrutinizing some of the most significant unfulfilled hopes, he looks at the failure of the West to engage effectively with a democratic Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the European Union’s fractious path to intending to become history’s largest and most competitive economy, the expansion of the Marshall Plan concept to regions fractured by division and conflict, the diminishing prospect of global free trade and investment to stimulate economic growth and increase prosperity in the developing world, the absence of coordinated international actions to combat climate change, the pervasive corruption in corporate governance undermining healthy capitalism, and the growing threats to democracy.
Donald J. Johnston is the former secretary general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. He lives in Montreal.
