Short analysis from Chantilly, France, where I recently participated in a Young Presidents Organization (YPO) program on the future of business 🌍 We had a fascinating discussion on the present and future of the global order and the implications for business. Among the main ideas shared: - 🇺🇸🇨🇳 There is a growing divide between the United States and China, with diplomatic, trade, and technological implications. - 🤝 This division will hinder the functioning of multilateral institutions and the provision of global public goods like security. - 💼 In the economic realm, we are seeing a clear process of fracturing of the international economy, with more trade restrictions being impossed across states, and the effects this is having on investment and supply chains. - 🏢 Companies will face a more challenging environment, requiring greater geopolitical analysis and risk adaptation. - 🎯 Those who can adapt will succeed, while others may face serious difficulties.

A few weeks ago, I had a terrific insightful conversation with Heather A. Conley President of the German Marshall Fund of the United States for IE Insights. Topic: 🇺🇸 - 🇪🇺 relations We delved into important topics such as the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, the future of NATO, and the ever-evolving situation in the Indo-Pacific. Some highlights: 💥 Ukraine: there is war fatigue among Ukraine's allies, and a growingly fractured US political landscape could have an impact on the volume and speed of aid being sent to Ukraine. 🔒NATO: we also looked at the NATO enlargement process, and at Russia's claims regarding its invasion of Ukraine. 👉 Russian Influence in Central and Eastern Europe: Conley highlighted Russian economic influence in the region, especially in countries like Moldova, Serbia and Hungary, and how this affects their relations with Western colleagues. 🌏 China & Taiwan: We analysed China's growing importance in US and European foreign policy, focusing on President Xi Jinping's statements about reunification with Taiwan and the potential for conflict. 🌐 2024, a Turning Point for Democracy: We reflected on the significance of the 2024 electoral year globally, with elections in major democracies and considerations about the state of democratic principles worldwide. A conversation that tackled current global challenges and opportunities for transatlantic allies. We need to work very hard to make sure that Europe and the United States continue to work shoulder to shoulder. As Heather said, "never alone, always together". @IEUniversity @IEInsights

An enlightening IE Insights conversation with Comfort Ero, President of International Crisis Group, in which we discuss how conflict is now placed firmly at the top of the concerns for citizens around the world. Comfort shared her views on different conflicts and crises, starting with the war in Gaza, its regional implications, and the need for a diplomatic solution to achieve lasting peace in the region. We also addressed the conflict in Ukraine, its geopolitical implications, and the nature of Rusia-West relations moving forward. Finally, we discussed potential future conflicts, particularly in the Taiwan Strait, emphasising the importance of monitoring tensions and managing the risk of miscalculations among world powers. In conclusion, Ero highlighted the complexity of current international conflicts, the importance of diplomatic efforts to resolve them, and the need for international cooperation to prevent global escalation. 🤝🌐 @IEUniversity @IEInsights
