It seems as if the global political climate has never been more volatile since the end of the Cold War. Confidence in liberal democracy, Western-led institutions and the free market economy has eroded over the past decade. The European Union also lacks common responses to major challenges, such as rising populism, growing social and economic inequalities and migration issues. So how did we get there? What are the reasons that led to the current state of global governance and liberal democracy? How will the world order develop in the future? And what do we need in order to create an inclusive and functioning global political space?
In this episode of the Global Futures podcast Joel Sandhu from the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) speaks with Wolfgang Reinicke, president of GPPi and founding dean of the School of Public Policy at Central European University in Budapest. Wolfgang also supports the Global Governance Futures Program as a senior fellow, providing expert input on the futures of global order.
