Is the much heralded new world order
beginning to unravel?
September 11 brought in its wake prophecies of impending
doom as well as boundless optimism about the opportunities
for restructuring the world. But as the dust begins to settle,
what has really changed and which windows of opportunity have
not yet closed? Will the coalition hold or will the US go
it alone? Will the world economy rebound from the recession?
All sessions except the first will be chaired by Lord Desai,
and there will be between 25 and 30 eminent individuals invited.
There will be two speakers at each session, who will talk
for around 15 minutes each, before the discussion is opened
to the group. As this is a developing situation, new issues
are likely to arise and others become irrelevant. The speakers
are chosen with a view to tackling challenges as they occur.
The disccussions are held under Chatham House Rules, so that
opinions expressed may be reported but not attributed.
