Changing Global Orders Programme
Description
In a world grappling with climate change, international conflict, and the residual effects of COVID-19, redefining global governance and its institutional structure becomes paramount. Various organisations, nationally and internationally, including NGOs, are learning and adapting to these global changes. Critiques of international institutions and their resilience are prevalent, prompting the need to question the feasibility of the current global order.
Nevertheless, history provides valuable insights into the obstacles hindering effective cooperation during turbulent times, offering potential solutions. Despite being overlooked, historical pathways continue to influence shock management strategies. Understanding these pathways better can inform future solutions.
Global shocks, from refugee crises and pandemics to financial crashes and technological disruptions, will invariably reshape the world. While it is impossible to predict the specifics of the next global shock, studying the past can provide a range of possible future scenarios and guide policy-makers in their response strategies.
World-renowned historians and academic analysts will collaborate with key policy-makers to strategise more coordinated responses to 21st-century global shocks. The programme will leverage advanced historical and social science research to discern barriers to effective cooperation, using insights from history to overcome them. Global shocks will be viewed as systemic and as part of a turbulence spectrum, facilitating an understanding of the relationship between individual crises and ongoing disruption.
