The "Beyond Neoliberalism" workshop in Ottawa on October 30, 2019 was co-organized by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Trade Justice Network and Institute for Policy Studies, with support from Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung-New York.
As a follow-up to the publication of the report Beyond NAFTA 2.0, the goal of the workshop was to discuss alternatives to free-market or neoliberal globalization, as codified in today's free trade and investment protection agreements, and how we might begin to establish fairer and more sustainable models of production and exchange.
