DESCRIPTION:The past decade has revealed that systemic change is underway 
 in the foundations of global tax politics\, entangled with changes in glob
 al politics at large. States are more aggressive in cracking down on tax h
 avens\, and cooperating more effectively through multilateralism. Global p
 ower is shifting towards large emerging markets. Media attention and focus
  on inequality has fueled unprecedented discontent with international tax 
 rules. And the digital economy is ripping historical alliances apart\, cre
 ating new battles lines in global tax negotiations.\n\nDescription: Based 
 on a recently published paper (with Martin Hearson)\, in this talk I set o
 ut how these global trends indicate a radical departure from the stable pa
 st of international tax\, and how they are shaping ongoing discussions to 
 change the system\, at the OECD and beyond. As the international tax syste
 m stands at a historical crossroads\, finding new balances – on inclusiv
 eness\, coherence\, and legitimacy – will be key to developing a sustain
 able international tax system for the future.\n\nRasmus Corlin Christensen
  is a political economist at Copenhagen Business School and a research ass
 ociate at the International Centre for Tax and Development. His research f
 ocuses on processes of change in the politics and professional practice of
  international taxation. He has been recognized as an influential individu
 al in the global tax world\, being named to the International Tax Review´
 s “Global Tax 50” in 2017. You can find him at phdskat.org or @phdskat
