ENG24K05. ENGAGE Keynote | Geopolitics and the Future of the Global Order

To navigate globalization and an evolving global order, accounting and finance leaders must analyze economic risks when considering investments or market exposure. But to spot crucial opportunities and manage risk, they must also understand the political factors and trends changing our world in real-time. Whether it’s increasingly contentious relations between China and the United States, a potential new incoming US President, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, a more complex regulatory environment in Europe, a newly global focus from India, surges of populism in Latin America, or heightened competition in Africa, political analyst and entrepreneur Ian Bremmer will detail how the current geopolitical landscape will shape the future of global order and business.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the broader trends effecting the future global balance of power.
• Identify potential political risk and its relation to economic opportunities.
• Distinguish opportunities and dangers of multilayered relations between countries.
