Episode 1
In this first episode of the second season of the MENA Talks, our host Shada Islam is joined by Dr. Sven Biscop, Director ‘Europe in the World’ at the Egmont Institute and Professor Yeo Lay Hwee, Director at the EU-Asia Centre in Singapore, to discuss current geopolitical dynamics in a multipolar world system, or as framed during the discussions, the coming of a “great geopolitical re-ordering”. International politics had clearly entered a new era, one in which states are moved by interests, as Sven Biscop puts it, or one in which a complex, multidimensional world prevails, with different regional orders, as Prof. Lay Hwee argues. Tune in and listen to this very special episode of MENA Talks season two.
