A lecture by Professor Samir Amin

UNU-GCM is pleased to announce a Guest Lecture by Professor Samir Amin, entitled ‘Globalization, Migration and Statelessness.’

Born in Cairo, Professor Amin is an economist and a leading thinker on development. He is the author of over thirty books and has lectured widely. His work focuses on the links between imperialism, capitalism and globalization and aims to advocate an alternative social development.
