A World Between Orders. The New Face of Global Geo-economics

On September 24th, 2024, I had the pleasure of discussing with Şafak Herdem, Managing Partner at HERDEM Attorneys at Law & President of the Turkish Sanctions and Export Control Society, and Hakan DOĞU, Chairman of Alagan.Tech Solutions & Founder of Sürdürülebilir Mobilite İnisiyatifi Derneği.

Together, we unpacked the changing nature and dynamics of global geopolitics and geo-economics, and we deep dived into the forces reshaping the international business environment.

From the rise of the Global South, the multiplication of regional alliances and the disruption of supply chains to the systematic use of lawfare, trade wars and technological disruptions, we explored the complexities of the modern global economy and discussed strategies for corporates to navigate these profound changes.

Key Discussion Points:
📍 The shifting balance of power in the global economy
📍 The impact of emerging markets and regional blocs
📍 How technology and innovation are influencing global trade
📍 The role of multinational corporations in the new economic order
📍 Implications for public policy, corporate strategy, and global governance
