As we look back over the past year, it is hard to avoid the sense that we are living on the edge of world-changing events.
We have entered a historic turning point in the global balance of forces. Such shifts often unfold slowly, until a sudden break makes the change unmistakable. Today, the world’s geopolitical alignment is tipping away from the old order and toward a new one.
This transformation began after 1991, when the collapse of the Soviet bloc ended the bipolar world and ushered in a brief period of U.S. dominance. But over the past three decades—especially in the new millennium—China, much of Asia, Latin America, and Russia have risen in power, producing an increasingly multipolar world that is challenging American hegemony.
Bring your ideas, comments, and questions for our last session of the year on this timely and critically important topic!
