Laurence Brahm: How lessons from SARS have taught us how to fight coronavirus
My first thought was that this was SARS all over again. I had lived through SARS and knew that China's government leaders had the experience and its people the resolve and wherewithal to overcome this. My first impression was that they would be able to control the coronavirus quickly and end the crisis. However, as the coronavirus spread, I began to suspect that this was something much bigger, more dangerous and requiring huge resources to get control over the situation. China’s challenge was not only to prevent the spread from affecting its own people. It was a global challenge that only China could meet on behalf of the world. As control measures kicked in, I began to reflect back on the years when we were fighting SARS. It was just under two decades ago.

Worldfolio | For the world to grow, it requires a strong America and a strong China.
Globalization 4.0 —a term coined by this year's World Economic Forum— holds the promise of a brighter future. However, it also carries a series of challenges, such as the rise of new power structures, the impact of innovative technologies on the labor market, and the severity of global issues such as climate change. In front of this situation, world leaders have urged for the creation of a new global architecture. Christine Lagarde from the IMF called for a “new multilateralism,” as Klaus Schwab from the WEF stated that “global issues required global solutions.” Why is a new global governance model important today? And how would this new model differ from the current one?
