ENG25K04. Part Two - Navigating the Geopolitical Recession

Join us for part two of Ian Bremmer's 2024 keynote presentation where he will speak to post election ramifications and opportunities.

For the past 15 years, the post-Cold War global order has been breaking down, leaving us to respond to a series of crises with both political, market, and business implications. Ian Bremmer explains that geopolitics has entered a bust cycle. The world’s most powerful country — the United States — has become the most politically dysfunctional rich-world country. The world’s most important bilateral relationship — U.S.-China — is deteriorating more quickly than leaders can build new guardrails. Today’s global institutions no longer reflect the world’s true balance of power. The result: a growing vacuum of leadership and cross-border coordination.

This geopolitical recession will continue to limit our ability to respond to crises like the pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, climate change, and the emergence of disruptive new technologies.

Ian will share ideas and insights to help business decision-makers navigate a world in accelerating transition.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify key global trends that will shape organizational decision-making in a politically fragmented world.
• Recognize how the breakdown of global institutions and strained international relations influence economic policy and risk forecasting.
