The Future of the Global Geoeconomic Order│John Mearsheimer, Robin Niblett and Henry Haggard

This podcast features a panel discussion with Dr. Mearsheimer and Sir Robin Niblett, moderated by a host, focusing on the future of APEC and the global order. Dr. Mearsheimer argues that the shift to a multipolar world undermines the liberal international order and APEC's role, emphasizing the resurgence of great power competition and bounded orders. Sir Robin Niblett views APEC as a relic of post-Cold War optimism, now challenged by the U.S.-China rivalry, but suggests APEC could still serve as a soft bridge between the two and foster sectoral cooperation. The discussion also touches on South Korea's limited agency in this new order and strategies for managing competition to avoid conflict, highlighting the potential for smaller states to build cooperative structures.
