Who will emerge as the next world power?
12th November: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm GMT
In 2025, China’s Belt and Road Initiative totaled $124 billion across 150 countries, securing more than 175 construction and investment deals. Last year, India, a country on track to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2027, contributed nearly 17 percent to global growth. Meanwhile, emergent powers in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East continue to pursue self-interested foreign policies. In an era of deep polarization and unpredictability, how will these countries influence international diplomacy? Should the West be concerned as China, India, and other rising powers form new economic and security partnerships?
These online panel discussions will take place at 4pm on a Wednesday once a month, but the topics are decided according to world events and announced close to the date of the month’s panel. Recordings are available on YouTube via the Global Georgetown channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GlobalGeorgetown/videos. To register and for more details about this series, see the link
