| "What
is
progress after all? Where does it lead us? At a time of major changes
and ruptures in the international system, we should explore and decide
what progress we want, how we can make sure its benefits are shared by
all, what promises it offers for our future. Deauville will be
the
place where conventional wisdom on progress and its merits will be
challenged, both at a collective and individual level." |
