Polycrisis: The New Geopolitical Dynamics

Monday, 7 July 2025: 09:00-10:45
Location: SJES013 (Faculty of Legal, Economic, and Social Sciences (JES))
RC07 Futures Research (host committee)

Language: English

Hegemonic decline used to spawn wars of hegemonic rivalry (1870-1945) and now drives multipolar globalization (Pacific turn, China, emerging economies) which, interacting with diverse dynamics, yields multiple crises. US problems (conservative power, corporate power, uneven development, a billionaire world, extreme inequality) are reproduced on a global scale. This session welcomes papers that address drivers, patterns, trajectories, and future scenarios of the new geopolitical dynamics.
