This panel will explore the significant transformations in the global order in response to ongoing and emerging geopolitical crises. The post-Cold War era has seen the rise of new powers, the resurgence of nationalism, and the rebalance of traditional alliances, all of which have challenged the established international norms and institutions. Recent events, such as the geopolitical tensions between major powers, regional conflicts, and the rise of populism, have further intensified these changes, creating a more fragmented and unpredictable global landscape.
Papers should critically examine the driving forces behind these shifts, including the economic, political, and technological factors contributing to the reconfiguration of global power dynamics. We will discuss the implications of these transformations for international relations, global governance, and the stability of the international system.
Key questions include: How are current geopolitical crises redefining the roles of traditional and emerging powers? What are the consequences of these changes for global governance structures, such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and geopolitical alliances like NATO, QUAD, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization? How are economic factors, such as trade wars and sanctions, influencing the global balance of power?
Through a multidisciplinary approach, this discussion aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the evolving global order and its future trajectory amidst ongoing geopolitical challenges. This panel seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of the current international order, offering insights into the potential pathways for stability and cooperation in an increasingly multipolar world.
