SESSION INTRO

Today, the world stands at a historic turning point amidst an unprecedented whirlwind of complex crises. The prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict are heightening global geopolitical risks and heralding a transformation in the political, economic, and industrial paradigms. Furthermore, the deepening U.S.-China rivalry is hastening the onset of a new Cold War era, exacerbating bottlenecks in global supply chains. Meanwhile, the acceleration of the energy transition and the shocks from climate change are confronting the world with the most severe threat of stagflation since the global financial crisis.

 

In this session, we aim to examine the key issues in the global economy due to the current geopolitical shifts and discuss their strategic implications. Additionally, we seek to derive policy solutions for the escalating global challenges.
