| | | | | | On behalf of the Austrian Institute for International Affairs – oiip, I want to remind you of the following Panel Discussion: Strange new multipolarity: How does it impact Europe’s stability and security? We are witnessing the appearance of a new multi-aligned, pluralistic and decentered world order, featuring so-called “middle powers” with aspirations for regional dominance such as Brazil, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, eager to disrupt and reshape the existing architecture with much pragmatism and the good old realpolitik as a compass. A new trend which the Russian Federation and China, both founding members of the BRICS, are tempted to maneuver behind the stage and use as a vector to challenge the rules of the liberal international system and impose their alternative narrative. What can this multipolar world governance, which Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar calls “the natural state of the world”, offer to the international community? Does this ‘Multiplex’, as Amitav Acharya coined it, correspond to the ‘de-Westernisation’ of the world? How does this transactional way of managing order affect the European Union and its convening power, also with regards to the war in Ukraine? Should Europe fear losing control and marginalization? How should it react and adapt? Opening: Wolfgang Petritsch President oiip Discussants: Stephanie Fenkart Director of the International Institute for Peace (IIP) Misha Glenny Rector of the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) Jagannath Panda Head of the Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs (SCSA-IPA) Date: Monday, 22 April 2024 Time: 17:30 - 19:30 Venue: oiip Währinger Strasse 3/12, 1090 Wien Registration The discussion will be held in English.
