Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

George Papaconstantinou and Jean Pisani-Ferry, "New World New Rules: Global Cooperation in a World of Geopolitical Rivalries" (Agenda, 2024)

Q: How can we work on global cooperation in a world where fundamentally different value systems exist?

George suggests that the universalist dream of convergence on Western liberal values is no longer viable. Instead, cooperation will require negotiating between varied interests and finding common ground on specific issues like climate and health, which can allow progress despite differing perspectives.

George Papaconstantinou and Jean Pisani-Ferry, "New World New Rules: Global Cooperation in a World of Geopolitical Rivalries" (Agenda, 2024)

Q: Why was the book written and why is it necessary?

George explains that the starting point was the recognition of a gap between the pressing need for collective action and the reluctance of nation-states to participate. They felt it was essential to address issues that require international cooperation, such as climate change and data governance, while acknowledging the barriers to achieving that cooperation.

The China Institute aimed to support scholarly exchange and Chinese students in the US, heavily influenced by the Boxer Indemnity and was politically engaged with Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist regime.
