Illuminating the Arts-Policy Nexus 
Illuminating the Arts-Policy Nexus is a fortnightly series of articles on the role of art in public policymaking. This series invites WPI fellows and project leaders as well as external practitioners to contribute pieces on how artists have led policy change and how policymakers can use creative strategies.
In Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow Ian Bremmer illustrates a historic shift in the international system and the world economy—and an unprecedented moment of global uncertainty.
President's Letter
Dear Friends of the World Policy Institute,
It’s a little more than a month to the second annual World Policy Around the Table dinner on May 2. People who attended last year didn’t want the night to end.
World Policy Around the Table opens with a moderated talk show style discussion with our honorees - we recognize them for their global outlook; fresh, constructive, solution-focused approaches; and ability to develop wider circles of influence in addressing shared global challenges. This year we honor Kishore Mahbubani of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at Singapore University for his policy thought leadership and Catalyst, represented by Ilene Lang, for its think-and-do leadership. This conversation sets the stage for lively individual table discussions led by pairs of World Policy fellows and eminent friends. Kathleen Hays of Bloomberg will emcee.
World Policy Around the Table is no typical gala: it’s more like the 30 best dinner party conversations going on all at once and around these themes: sustainable global cities, entrepreneurship ecosystems, closing the gender gap, security across borders, heading off financial crisis, and the arts-policy nexus across all themes. We’re looking for takeaways that we can use to inform the World Policy Institute’s work over the coming year — but we’re also looking to have a fun evening with friends.
We are finalizing our roster of stellar table discussion leaders over the next two weeks. You can see who’s confirmed so far right now, and keep checking as we add to the list.
Corporate and individual tickets are now available, and we have a few table sponsorships still open. Sign up HERE before the event sells out.
You won’t want to miss this chance to honor two extraordinary thought leaders and add your voice to the conversation on key global issues.
See you May 2 at The TimesCenter here in New York City!
All my best,
Michele Wucker
President
