Convener
Dr Amrita Narlikar (Reader in International Political Economy and Director of the Centre for Rising Powers, POLIS, Cambridge)
Conference Summary
This conference addresses all three gaps head on. It offers a unique forum whereby top-notch scholars and leading figures in business and public policy come together to address the central question: what opportunities and challenges does the rise of new powers bring to the international system, and how might the opportunities be optimally harnessed and the threats curtailed? It is hoped that the process of such engagement and exchange across disciplines (Politics, History, Economics) as well as spheres (academic, policy, business, and media) will generate more holistic explanations of the problems, but also offer cutting-edge and feasible solutions.
