A nation must think before it acts.
The Global Future: Confrontation or Competition
| Orbis
About the Event
As the Biden administration takes the helm in the United States, and as the world continues to navigate through the coronavirus pandemic, how will the contours of international relations during the 2020s take shape? Will the major powers rediscover the virtue of cooperation and common action, or have we returned to the rough and tumble of great power politics. Please join us for a discussion with Orbis Editor Nikolas Gvosdev, Damjan Krnjevic Miskovic, who writes about the resurgence of great power politics in this issue of Orbis, and Amitai Etzioni, who writes on communitarianism in this issue, as they present their takes in the Winter 2020/21 issue of Orbis.
