Background
The current West-dominated world order is changing. Wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East have accelerated the process. China and Russia promote an alternative international order. India aspires to have a bigger say at the international arena. Larger Latin American countries, especially Brazil, aspire to increase their international role.
Is there a clear vision of the multipolar, de-westernised world order? Do major players coincide in their views?
Speakers will explain regional policy approaches to the new international order as well as dwell on the major international challenges: the election of Donald Trump and the new order; war in Ukraine and in the Middle East, etc.
