About Re-Ordering World Order Part II
Tonight, in Impulse the third evening of the New World Order series will feature Dr. Gjovalin Macaj (Leiden University) joining us remotely to follow up on the rich discussions and questions which arose during his presentation on the 20th. We insert this activity since the heightened military activity and geo-political tensions in the Gulf region have led Northwestern University (Qatar) to ban all staff travel. Therefore, Dr. Marc Owen Jones’ presentation originally scheduled for this evening is indefinitely postponed. Our thoughts are with him, and all caught in this or affected by it. Even if you did not attend the first presentation given by Gjovalin Macaj, you are still welcomed to join us in Impulse tonight!
About series New World Order
The global context in which some of the most pressing planetary challenges need to be addressed is shifting. From trade to climate crises measures and beyond, the international sphere of power and relations between states touches our fields of expertise as well as our professional and private lives. Fractures and fissures in world order are shaking the foundations of the structures and arrangements long taken for granted. Take stock of shifting power dynamics and explore what is emerging on the horizon. Who or what is shaping new world order? Navigate with us through that which can make us feel small and powerless with fresh insights that even speak to our sense of agency in a complex world.
