“The history of the last 200-plus years shows that every new world order is shaped by the winners of another major war. This was the case after the Napoleonic Wars, the First World War, and the Second World War. It was also the case after the Cold War, when a unipolar world emerged. The dramatic and structural break with the past is the presence of nuclear weapons. Therefore, the existential challenge today is to shape the contours of the future world order without passing the point of no return,” noted Alexander Dynkin, Deputy Chairman of the Forum’s Organizing Committee and President of IMEMO.
