An atmosphere of crisis pervades many discussions of global order and multilateralism. However, for many, including in the Global South, the current moment of change is not merely a time of risk, but also of opportunity. A crisis lens ignores these perspectives, overlooking historical continuities in calls and ideas for change and the possibilities of different future trajectories. This multi-day conference will explore how the contemporary international order and disorder are experienced and viewed across regions and policy domains, at a time of ongoing geopolitical competition, power diffusion, technological disruption, environmental crisis, glaring inequality, and challenges to political legitimacy.
