After the Pittsburgh G20: Renewing Globalization and Economic Growth

September 23, 2009
Daniel Rooney, U.S. Ambassador to Ireland

On the eve of the Pittsburgh G20 Summit, the Atlantic Council and Carnegie Mellon University, with the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, hosted an expert conference examining the steps needed to revitalize global economic growth.

Through a series of candid discussions and lectures, senior government officials, business leaders and key policy analysts looked at the mix of political, social, global and local forces needed to renew the world economy.  Topics of conversation included the sources of new growth and innovation; the role of trade and financial regulation in restoring growth; and the forces behind economic nationalism and protectionism.
