  • CONJURING the SPIRIT of MULTILATERALISM Histories of Crisis Management During the ‘Great Credit Crash’
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by City Research Online CONJURING THE SPIRIT OF MULTILATERALISM Histories of crisis management during the ‘great credit crash’ Amin Samman City University London, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT In recent years critical scholars have emphasised how the recollection of past events as traumas can both constrain and widen the political possibilities of a present. This article builds on such research by suggesting that the management of contemporary financial crises is reliant on a ritual work of repetition, wherein prior ‘crisis’ episodes are called upon to identify and authorise specific sites and modes of crisis management. In order to develop this argument, I focus on how past crises figure within the public pronouncements of four key policymaking organisations during the financial instability of 2007-2009. I find that while the Great Depression does enable these organisations to reaffirm old ways of managing crises, both it and the more recent Asian crisis are also made to disclose new truths about the evolution of multilateralism as a form of governance. In so doing, I argue, these historical narratives reveal how the management of global financial crisis depends upon a kind of ‘magic trick’. Rather than a strictly rational, historical process of problem solving, contemporary crises are instead negotiated through a contingent and self-referential conjuring of crisis-histories. KEYWORDS Crisis; finance; memory; history; trauma; narrative HOW TO CITE This is a peer-reviewed pre-publication version of an article that will appear in the Review of International Studies.

The initiative came in addition to the Foundation’s regular and continuing grant-making efforts in Greece and around the world. In announcing the new initiative, the Foundation recognized at the same time that an impactful change to the current youth employment landscape cannot be attained through the commitment of funds only, however significant they may be. The creation of new opportunities and consequently the creation of jobs require the radical and innovative rethinking of the ways we approach and address the issue, as well as the collaboration and convergence of different sectors (public, private, philanthropic). To that end, the Foundation in collaboration with a number of partners on both sides of the Atlantic, with the Peterson Institute for International Economics in a leading role, has organized this conference in New York, which brings together prominent economists, foundations, policy makers, NGOs, labor leaders and businesspeople for action oriented collaboration.

  • SESSION PLENIERE • Lundi 6 Octobre 2008 • 10H15 – 12H30
    OPENING SESSION • Saturday, September 12, 2019 page 1 THIERRY DE MONTBRIAL Founder and Chairman of the World Policy Conference At the 11th WPC a year ago in Rabat, the prevailing view among experts was that the world economy was doing well and had a bright outlook, subject only to political shocks that might affect it. However, there was no shortage of them, even beyond the trade war. In the Middle East, Iran has not yielded to the sanctions imposed by the United States. Saudi Arabia, which is entangled in Yemen, has just shown its great vulnerability to its opponents despite the hundreds of billions of dollars invested in its defence. On the one hand, the Iranian leadership is showing its resistance despite its complexity, or what could euphemistically be called its diversity. On the other, the Saudi Crown Prince has still not established his credibility, either in the political realm or in relation to its economic projects. The ad hoc alliances seem very fragile, and if no incident has degenerated to date, this is probably due to Donald Trump's now clearly stated intention not to let himself be dragged into a new war. Here, as elsewhere, America prefers to use economic weapons, hoping that they will eventually produce the expected results. To this end, it bullies its allies and other partners by imposing its own foreign policy and laws on them. As a result, trust in the United States is eroding everywhere, creating a great deal of uncertainty. Geo-economics is a term used to describe a situation where states, starting with the U.S., are increasingly and methodically using non-military levers of economic power to achieve their political objectives.
