Discussion 3:30-4:30PM
Reception to follow

2022 is wrapping up no better than it began as a series of mounting global crises complicate pandemic recovery. The ongoing war in Ukraine, food insecurity, soaring energy costs, escalating cyber risks, extreme weather conditions, and worsening U.S.-China relations have shifted mindsets from just-in-time global connectedness to just-in-case resiliency strategies. As predictions for economic growth trend downward and the U.S. prepares to go to the polls, how should we think about navigating the rocky road ahead? And is there a course to chart toward a more predictable and stable future footing?

Join us for a timely conversation with two of the world’s leading authorities on these subjects: the Hon. Dr. Kevin Rudd AC, President and CEO of the Asia Society and former prime minister of Australia whose doctoral thesis was on defining Xi Jinping’s ideological worldview, and Dr. Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media whose doctoral thesis was on Russia-Ukraine. The conversation will touch on pressing and emerging geopolitical risks, including Russia’s next steps in the war with Ukraine, U.S.-China relations, and what to expect from the U.S. midterm elections. Moderated by Carla Anne Robbins, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.


Speakers

Ian Bremmer

Ian Bremmer is President and Founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. He is the author of eleven books, including two New York Times bestsellers, Us vs Them: The Failure of Globalism, which examines the rise of populism across the world, and his latest book The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats—and Our Response—Will Change the World, which details a trio of looming global crises (health emergencies, climate change, and technological revolution) and outlines how governments, corporations, and concerned citizens can use these crises to create global prosperity and opportunity. He currently teaches at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and previously was a professor at New York University.
