The old international system may be struggling but a new more decentralized, diffused and democratized global system is emerging. John Hancock will examine how unprecedented access to information, technological empowerment, and global integration is reshaping world politics – and ask what we can expect from a complex, turbulent global system that’s increasingly run, not by the G7 or the G20, but by the G8 billion.
