G20 leaders urged to curb nationalism

Asia Society’s task force, headed by a former Citi vice chairman, Tuesday released a report calling for policies to balance Asia’s economic globalization with the rest of the world.

“This report, which combines the thinking of experts from across the Asia-Pacific region, provides a common sense strategy for achieving this goal,” said task force chair Bill Rhodes during its meeting in Seoul ahead of the G20 summit.

“We are releasing this report immediately prior to the G20 summit to make specific recommendations for how the G20 and its member states can play a greater role in fostering economic growth and countering the rising tide of economic nationalism,” said task force coordinator Jamie Metzl.
