The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatic implications for geopolitics, for global economics and for everyone’s lives. Amid this, the Dialogue of Civilisations (DOC), an independent think tank based in Berlin, has launched a new webinar series ‘Global Pandemic: The Way forward’ aimed at fostering global dialogue and cooperation during the virus crisis.

With many of us being confined to homes, global dialogue is more necessary than ever at this time as global challenges indeed require international cooperation, not just national responses, the DOC said.

The second in the third-part series focuses on geopolitics, crisis management, and world-order reform in light of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Watch live the online webinar featuring three expert speakers considering the following topics:

• Prospects for cross-border cooperation or closed-border nationalism
• International relations ‘reset’ – hopes for crisis-induced renewal
• Assessments of global alliances

The three expert speakers for this topic include:

Dr Wang Huiyao, the Director and Co-Founder of the Center for China and Globalization.

Shada Islam, the Director of Europe and Geopolitics at Friends of Europe.

Suresh Prabhu, India’s Sherpa to the G20 and former Union Minister.
