The debate on the future of globalisation as we know it is necessary. What will become of western governance? We report the reflection of Daniel Araya for Centre for International Governance Innovation.
The strategic research work of The Global Eye deals with this and tries to understand what will come out of the great recomposition of power relations taking place at planetary level.
We share the Araya’s perspective on the decline of the Western leadership. Equally, we share the objective fact that major countries around the world (China, India, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Brazil) are working to strengthen their position as strategic regional players.
We believe that multilateralism, especially at this stage of deep radicalisation of national interests (excluding none), is a difficult prospect to achieve. Rather, we see the possibility of new regional approaches on a horizon that we call multi-bi-lateralism.
The responses to the consequences of the current de-generational megacrisis will be increasingly ‘variable geometry’ and will have to reckon with the regionalisation of international relations and with competition (which we hope will be ‘cooperative’ on the great issues affecting the survival of humanity and the planet) between macro-regions at the ‘glocal’ level.
