6th Lisbon Conference
A DIVIDED WORLD
IN THE 6TH EDITION OF THE LISBON CONFERENCES, WE DEBATED THE CHALLENGES AND THREATS OF OUR DIVIDED WORLD
The world is divided, with multilateralism and globalisation losing ground to power games, protectionism and regionalism, against a backdrop of existential threats ranging from climate change to rearmament. These dynamics are taking place in parallel with advances in various fields, from constant digital innovations to revolutionary developments in medicine. This is a year marked by electoral choices everywhere – not just in democracies. Among these choices, the November elections in the USA stand out, as they will have strong internal and external impacts – some would say regardless of the results. In Europe, the 2024 elections will lead probably to a greater degree of division in the EU and within the member countries. We don’t know today what the situation will be like in places such as Ukraine, the Middle East, Taiwan, or in various regions of Africa and South Asia in the next future. However, current scenarios and narratives reveal an increased rivalry between major powers, with the accentuation of multipolarity and the erosion of multilateralism, and a greater degree of division and conflict.
