The interconnected world
Description
This film looks closely at the International Monetary Fund and the global economic crisis. The four parts of the film discuss how the world economic order is being shaped by the global crisis, the rise of Asia and the implications for the rest of the world, how the discovery of oil is affecting a low-income country in Africa, and the transition of a country in Eastern Europe from communism to a market economy and membership of the European Union. The IMF was established to foster economic stability and promote peace following the devastation of World War II. This international institution has been undergoing rapid change to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and played a vital role in helping countries deal with the global financial crisis. In this film, we hear about the IMF and its role during the global economic crisis, which brought the world economy to its knees. Concerted action by world leaders averted a second great depression, but what are the future prospects for multilateral cooperation?
