A brief presentation

The Groupe d’Economie Mondiale (GEM) at Sciences Po is an independent and non-partisan European, Paris-based research centre that seeks to promote debate on international economic integration – its real magnitude, foreseeable costs and benefits. In particular, it aims to provide analysis of the impact of two key policy areas with wide-ranging effects - trade policy and regulatory policy in services, impact assessment of policies, etc. (more...)
