Abstract:
The world of the past 80 years is rapidly coming to a close, and a new order is emerging. On every major issue, we need new thinking. What does the new tension between the US and China mean for Asian regional security, and how will it affect Europe? What will AI and technological change affect global politics? What will be the role of the Middle Powers navigating between the US, China and Russia? And can history teach us how to understand the present and future?
