7:30 pm - 9:00 pm (CST) / 19/mar/2024 12:30 am - 19/mar/2024 02:00 am
Debt, high interest rates, commodity shocks and energy insecurity have propelled anger in the Global South. Emerging economies are seeking to overhaul the structures of the global political and economic system, hedge their strategic bets away from alliances and blocs and accelerate the emergence of a multipolar system more favorable to their interests. Is the future of BRICS+ and the G77 one of new opportunity or unreconciled competition? How deep is this polarization? What are the tools to bridge the divide? What does this divide mean for the future of trade, markets and international political institutions?
