| Dear Friends, We warmly invite you to take part in our next Open Consultation Monday discussion event: 📅 9 March 2026 | 🕒 4:00 PM Cape Town time (GMT +2) 💬 Topic: What are the middle powers to do in a new age of great power rivalry? 🔗Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/0g2NZxLJTmO50QQTVYI8jA In his recent address at Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney argued that the rules‑based international order has ruptured. As great powers become less constrained by shared norms, he suggests that middle powers must work together to protect their interests and values. Our discussion will examine the roles and strategic options available to middle powers in this shifting landscape, including: – How can middle powers advance global interests and values? – What does strategic autonomy mean in practice? – What is the future potential of the United Nations? – Is non‑alignment still viable, or is selective alignment inevitable? – How can middle powers diversify trade without undermining growth and efficiency? We look forward to your insights and contributions to this timely conversation. Warm regards, The GSPN Team |
