Background
The West-dominated rule-based world order is changing: wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East have accelerated the process. China and Russia promote a different international order, the one that is not dominated by the West. India aspires to have a bigger say at the international arena. Big 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 different country approaches/policies as well as dwell on the major international challenges, including the results of the US elections.
