New globalization institute in China: René Kemp

A new 'Center for the Study of Globalization' was inaugurated on 23 November at the International College of Renmin University in China, and René Kemp, representing UNU-MERIT, gave a lecture at the opening ceremony. The institute uses a multidisciplinary and multicultural approach to conduct in-depth research and analysis on global dynamic processes including low-carbon economy, human development, and poverty eradication. The Government of Suzhou is a co-founder, UNU-MERIT is one of the partners and Luc Soete is co-director of the institute. We spoke to Professor Kemp about his role at the launch event and his views on the future of eco-innovation in China. http://www.merit.unu.edu/permalink.php?id=663
