Pitch: The Clash of World Orders
Stage

Thursday, 31 August
60 minutes
English
First come first serve
In February 2022, the leaders of Russia and China announced their intention to build a new world order more in line with their interests and less dominated by the West. Is this the beginning of a new Cold War or are we moving towards a multipolar system with multiple centres of power? Alternatively, one could also argue that Russia’s setbacks in Ukraine and China’s failed COVID-19 policy mean that the United States will remain the sole superpower for the foreseeable future. Three speakers will present their views on the current world order and the future one in 2040.
 
Session objective: Challenging assumptions – Have your beliefs and assumptions questioned, broaden your perspective and critically reflect on old and new questions and challenges. 

//INFO: Listen to three different perspectives on the topic, challenge the speakers with your questions and comments, and vote on which pitch you found the most compelling.
