A nation must think before it acts.
At a time when the West is facing heightened security challenges from great power rivals, terrorists, and other non-state actors, how has the existing system of Western alliances evolved? In this final event of FPRI's four-part series on the Meta-West, former President of the World Bank Robert Zoellick will deliver remarks on the Western Alliance System past, present and future. Zoellick will then be joined by FPRI's Ronald J. Granieri to discuss where further research should be conducted, and what policymakers can do now to further the goals of the larger system.
FPRI's four-part seminar series on the concept of a Meta-West and examines this larger system and its capabilities. The first event in this series addressed the Meta-West's powers and functions as a systemic whole. The subsequent events analyzed the Meta-West's roles as geo-political and geo-economic systems. This seminar series is a part of the Robert Strausz-Hupé Project: The Atlantic System in a World of Great Power Rivalry.
