*
Awaiting confirmation
Over
the past three years, there has been concerted effort to
organise protest movements against market based reforms
under the misguided belief that people may some how be better
off without an increasing range of choices that trade and
economic liberalisation provides. There is a tendency among
many critics to blame everything on globalisation. The aim
of this event is to highlight the fact that globalisation
has the potential to benefit everyone. In view of the upcoming
WTO meeting in Doha in November, and the prospect of yet
another round of globalised demonstrations, this panel discussion
provides an opportunity to respond to these critics.
Liberty
Institute is a public policy research organisation, dedicated
to promoting awareness of the institutional pillars of free
society - individual rights, rule of law, limited government
and free market. The Institute believes in the symbiotic
relationship between political and economic freedom, and
seeks to highlight the fact that one cannot be preserved
without the other. The Institute looks at contemporary economic
issues, provides market based responses with the aim maximising
choice for the citizens. Among areas of particular interest
to the Institute are trade, deregulation, privatisation,
informal sector, and environmental concerns. The Institute
conducts seminars, workshops, has a growing publications
programme, and is also engaged in developing educational
programme for students. For more information about the Institute,
