Inter-Regional Lab: What Order Can Stabilize the International System?

Over 30 thought leaders from 20 countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Americas came together in Bangkok over the Inter-Regional Lab "Geopolitical competition, Geoeconomic Disruptions. What order can stabilize the international system?", organized in partnership with the Global Solutions Initiative Foundation (GSI) and facilitated by the Executive Education team of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Over two days, they exchanged notes on geopolitical and geoeconomic disruptions as also jointly explored what type of order might stabilize the international system that is in flux and turmoil.

Geopolitical competition is rising around the world, how will it reshape the multilateral architecture? With many arguing that the unipolar moment is over and the old world order in crisis, a key question emerges: what kind of order can stabilize the international system? Marc Saxer spoke with Bambang Brodjonegoro and Yu Bin to explore these questions.

Experts from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Thailand tackled two big questions:

“How does geopolitical competition between the US and China impact your country’s security?”

and “How does the geoeconomic disruption of the world economy affect your country’s development model?”
