Garcevic Speaks at Forum on Challenges to Liberal World Order
Ambassador Vesko Garcevic, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, spoke as part of an April 17, 2018 session on “Challenges to the Liberal World Order,” organized by the Kozmetsky Center of Excellence at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas.
The event was part of an annual session in Transatlantic Security featuring an exchange of perspectives among leading experts from the United States, Europe,
Russia and China. The forum featured exchanges of perspectives among leading scholars and policy experts, current and former senior policy officials, and representatives of the private sector focusing on a broad range of critical security challenges for our nations.
The conversations at the event were devoted to exploring the continued relevance and challenges to the existing Western liberal democratic order, which has formed the basis for stability, rules and norms for managing European and broader global security.
Distinguished speakers representing the United States, Europe, Russia and China discussed the pressures on domestic and international political and financial institutions and communities to adapt to the changing global power configuration and rapidly evolving international security, economic, financial and social developments. Speakers attempted to identify major features of the existing Western liberal order and visions for alternative arrangements preferred by both Moscow and Beijing.
On April 18, 2018 Garcevic was hosted by the University of Texas, Austin for similar discussions on challenges to the liberal world order.
