CAN MULTILATERALISM SURVIVE? NEW GLOBAL GOVERNANCE RULES FOR A NEW WORLD In the age of Trump and the ascendance of China, multilateralism is confronted with challenges of unprecedented magnitude not seen since World War II. The rules-based system which has provided the framework for globalization is being reshaped by tectonic changes in the patterns of interdependence and geopolitical changes. A major battle is being waged that ranges from trade to finance, climate, the internet and many other fields; its outcome will determine global prosperity, the preservation of global commons, and peace. This session will address the question of whether multilateralism can survive and assess the effectiveness of the new emerging global governance arrangements
