Merkel and May Adam Berry/Stringer

A Tipping Point Missed

Had Hillary Clinton won, she would have joined the UK’s Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, helping achieve critical mass in the G7, while a female UN Secretary-General would have placed women at the helm of two of the world’s three biggest international organizations. It didn't happen, but what if it had?

WASHINGTON, DC – Before America and the world settle in firmly to the new Donald Trump-based reality, let’s take a little trip down the road not taken. Suppose we had woken up last Wednesday morning to a President-elect Hillary Clinton. And let’s say that, instead of former Portuguese Prime Minister António Guterres, New Zealand’s Helen Clark or Bulgaria’s Kristalina Georgieva had been picked to succeed Ban Ki-moon as United Nations Secretary-General.
