Themes addressed

Under the general theme “Between fragmentation and interdependence: rethinking global governance”, the eighteenth edition of the WPC will address major issues: global trade at a time when power supersedes rules, the geopolitics of digital finance, budgetary challenges facing states, the future of the European Union, wars in Europe and the Middle East and their global repercussions, the revolution of artificial intelligence, new security architectures, financing of global public goods in a fragmented world, and perspectives on the United States.

Parallel workshops will deepen reflections around three axes: international economy and finance, the new global energy order, and artificial intelligence, a driver of prosperity or existential threat?

The debates will be livestreamed on the WPC’s YouTube channel.
