On 13–14 December, SIPRI convened a workshop titled ‘Geopolitics Meets the Local: Diverse Perspectives and Intertwined Research Agendas’. The workshop was a response to the ongoing shift from the post-cold war international order, where uncertainties about the emerging global paradigm loom large. The workshop brought together a wide range of regional and thematic experts for an in-depth examination of the various ways in which geopolitical transition and turbulence interact with regional and local-level peace, conflict and security dynamics.
The workshop assembled over 30 experts from diverse contexts and geographies, centered around four themes: emergent security orders, multilateral institutions, political economy and geo-economics, and governance and legitimacy. A goal of this event was to facilitate a global conversation and catalyse new research collaborations.
