Brasília, 18 October 2020.
Dear colleagues,
This is the selection of free webinars for this week about political economy, public policy and business-government relations. All webinars are in English, except the ones with a title in Portuguese.
If you are interested in Africa, do not miss Africa Week, a series of events para at King’s College London. I’ve included the opening ceremony on Monday, but events continue until Friday. I would highlight a book discussion on financial business power and multi-level regulation on Monday. One of the authors is Dr Scott James, my supervisor at King’s and a leading researcher on lobbying and political economy.
Please, observe the time zones, and thanks for all the suggestions.
Best regards,
Arthur Wittenberg.
