- Feb 511:00 AMA World Order Out of Balance? Power, Populism, and the Shaping of Tomorrow's Global OrderJoin ISA and EISA for a roundtable that will explore the shifting dynamics of the international order, focusing on the current power structure, its characteristics, and underlying norms. With a landscape marked by intensifying strategic competition and rising populism across the globe, the role of key powers like the United States, China, and other influential actors has become both pivotal and complex. We will examine whether we are witnessing a transition toward a multipolar or bipolar system or if unipolarity dynamics persist beneath recent changes. The Trump administration's approach, including its populist rhetoric and "America First" strategy, will be discussed as part of a broader examination of how these trends impact alliances, global norms, and the potential for stability—or disruption—in the international order. MODERATOR: Revecca Pedi (University of Macedonia). PANELISTS: Barry Posen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Nathalie Tocci (Istituto Affari Internazionali), Sandra Destradi (University of Freiburg and Reichman University), and William C. Wohlforth (Dartmouth). Interested in staying up-to-date on all of ISA's virtual programming?
