A Special Development Policy Seminar was held on Thursday, March 14th 2019 at the GSIS General Leaders Room. A lecture entitled “What world are we living in: The sources of Economic Power” was presented by Abdelatif Benachenhou, a professor of Economics at the University of Paris. The lecture was attended by the 11th batch DCPP students, Professor Kim Taekyoon, Professor Byun Woung, and other graduate students. The seminar explained six factors that affect a country’s economic power, the history of hegemonies that dominated the world since the 17th century, the current absence of a clear hegemony and the resulting disorder. Professor Benachenhou concluded the seminar by reviewing the opportunities and risks humanity faces in the future.
