Information

It is undisputed that world order is undergoing profound change in character: still-evolving Great Power Rivalry; rising trade protectionism and a reshaped globalisation; a fraying multilateral, rules-based order, experiencing unilateral challenge and plurilateral response. In this seminar, Quah will address the profound changes underway in the character of world order. What are the fundamental shocks and propagation mechanisms driving these changes? Will geopolitical alignment and geoeconomic incentive hold the system together? If Great Powers once built the international system and Great Powers, again, are now pulling the thread on that system's unravelling, how can smaller nations and economic enterprises best navigate the still-transmogrifying new world order?
