This talk examines the unravelling of “Pax Americana” and the shift towards a fragmented global economy shaped by inequality and geopolitical realignment. As globalisation’s hidden costs drive unrest and interventionism, the world is moving towards two hegemonic blocs centred on the U.S. and China, alongside loosely aligned, economically peripheral countries. This realignment will reshape multinational enterprises’ global value chains and compel unaligned states to pursue deep structural reforms, long-term capacity building, and regional integration.
