Peter Sutherland, 61, is described by some as the father of globalisation. He ran the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and became the head of its successor body, the World Trade Organisation. Now chairman of BP and Goldman Sachs International, the investment bank’s non-US business, he has a remarkable vantage point from which to survey world affairs.
In a video interview on FT.com, Mr Sutherland talks about the current market turmoil, his fears for the Doha round of trade talks and signs of protectionism. He also discusses the successes and challenges of his decade at the top of BP, the priorities for Tony Hayward, BP’s new chief executive, and his own plans after he steps down from BP in 2009. Among other activities, he hopes to develop his interest in European integration. Edited highlights are given below. read more
