    Bridging the North-South Divide
    Geopolitics

    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?

    Beyond Borders: The IRA's ripple effect on international policies and finance
    Innovation & Technology

    The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has turned out to be a big accelerator for capital deployment in the U.S. with its generous tax credits. However, the intention by the U.S. to lead the world on clean energy investment and supply chain has also spurred an intense debate about the spillover effects of the IRA on climate policies and investment outside the U.S. We will explore both positive and negative spillover effects of the IRA and explore opportunities and challenges for the rest of the world.
