The Globalist

The Globalist is the first comprehensive biography of Peter Sutherland, an influential Irish power-broker who significantly impacted the global economy over the past 25 years. Notably Ireland’s youngest attorney general and European Commissioner, Sutherland is revered as the ‘father of globalisation’ for his role in the landmark Uruguay round of trade negotiations. The biography draws on interviews with prominent political and business figures, exploring Sutherland’s involvement in pivotal historical events and his dedication to public service, particularly his advocacy for refugees and migrants, which made him a target for rising populist movements.
