The Hague Strategic Foresight Forum Talks: The Future World Order

Description

On the 11th of December 2024, The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) invited foresight experts to explore the shifting dynamics of our global order from a North American, Southeast Asian and European perspective. This was the third and final event in a three-part series called ‘The Hague Strategic Foresight Forum Talks’. The third event was titled ‘The Future World Order.’
Key questions that were explored by our foresight experts included:

To what extent will the US and China try to shape this future world order? Will Europe be a player in or a playground for great power competition? Should multilateral institutions such as the UN reinvent themselves to stay relevant?

The event featured insights from leading experts:
