The Future of the Multilateral Order

Over the past 75 years, globalization and global governance have been strongholds of universal peace and prosperity. More recently, multilateral institutions struggle to enable shared, fair and effective solutions for crisis phenomena such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Our moderated discussion will provide an outlook on the future of multilateralism. How can the structures of international cooperation be defended and redesigned? Which existing institutions may remodel the rules of multilateral engagement? And what role do newly founded organizations such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank play?

This is the fourth session of the transatlantic virtual event series Road to Election Night & Beyond #R2EN, which is organized and hosted by several transatlantic institutions and political foundations. More information on the virtual series can be found at www.landing.berlin-election-night.de.

The moderated discussion will last about 40 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.

Friday, October 16, 2020, from 2:30p.m. - 3:40 p.m. (CEST) with:

• Robert B. Zoellick, Former President of the World Bank, U.S. Trade Representative & U.S. Deputy Secretary of State
• Werner Hoyer, President of the European Investment Bank

moderated by Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner, Head of External Policy at the Federation of German Industries (BDI).
