Amid rapid economic and geopolitical change, the global order is in a period of transition. Recent China-led initiatives such as the New Silk Road and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank demonstrate that the world’s center of gravity increasingly is shifting toward Asia.

Carnegie–Tsinghua’s Chen Qi will host a discussion with Matthew Kroenig about the evolving global order. Kroenig will present his perspective on the U.S. role in the international system and offer his assessment on how U.S. economic arrangements and political traditions shape the international order.

This event is close to media.
