Presentation at the EPIIC Symposium on Global Poverty And Inequality

As part of this year’s EPIIC Symposium, the Guatemala group presented their research on the “Governance, Wealth, Power, and Accountability” panel, the final panel of the symposium. The Guatemala research contributed to the dialogue on the framework in which poverty and all other global conditions unfold: the distribution of power and wealth. The distinguished speakers on the panel included: Jose Maria Argueta, former Guatemalan Ambassador to Japan and Peru and executive director of the Institute for Central American Strategic Studies; Raymond Baker, currently a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution and a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy; Jack Blum, a former Congressional investigator specializing in international financial crime, money laundering and offshore tax evasion; John Christensen, former economic adviser to the United Kingdom and Jersey governments and researcher of tax havens and tax policy; and James Henry, attorney and investigative journalist on corruption and money laundering.
