Is Cooperation Even Possible in an Age of Geopolitics?

Mon. January 23rd, 2023
Live Online

The Biden Administration’s National Security Strategy depicts a world defined by two countervailing trends: a proliferation of global problems that demand collective action and a resurgence of geopolitical rivalry that complicates that very cooperation. What is the future of multilateralism in an era of great power competition? Can multistakeholder approaches fill gaps in global governance?

Join us for a conversation with Justin Vaïsse, founder and director-general of the Paris Peace Forum, on the options facing the Biden administration in 2023 and French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent global governance initiatives and how cities, NGOs, and corporations are spearheading governance breakthroughs in climate change, development, cyberspace, and beyond.
