Quincy Institute hosts Sarang Shidore to unveil bold proposals for a fairer global order shaped by the Global South’s rising voice.
About this Event

As the world continues to move away from the unipolar structure born after the end of the ColdWar, it also risks fracturing into competing and rival orders.

The Better Order Project contends that the way forward is neither the promotion of a coalition of like-minded states under the so-called rules-based international order, nor the advent of a rival order dominated by other great powers. The increasingly diffuse balance of power and the rising influence of the Global South together ensure that no state — or group of states — can set the terms of the international order unilaterally.

To ensure peace, stability, and a fighting chance against transnational threats, the world needs enhanced norms and laws to rejuvenate an inclusive global order rooted in international law, multilateralism, and the ability of states to participate on an equal basis.

To help guide states in this effort and stabilize an international order in transition, the Quincy Institute’s network of 130+ experts, scholars, and practitioners from more than 40 countries has developed 20 proposals across seven policy areas, all of which blend boldness and ambition with political realism.
