Regional Conference on Asian Scripts

GIGA President Amrita Narlikar analyses the outcome of the G20 Summit in Hamburg and states, that it stood out.

Contemporary liberal societies are currently facing a loss of confidence in the ability of their core institutions to provide solutions to the most pressing issues of the 21st century. SCRIPTS investigates alternative concepts of social order and deals with their consequences for global challenges such as climate change, migration, nuclear proliferation, and transnational terrorism. As part of SCRIPTS, GIGA and Hertie School conduct two projects.

Prof. Amrita Narlikar presented together with her Chal-Chal team their project at the SCRIPTS Jour Fixe. The research team looks at the Belt and Road Initiative’s implications for liberal trade and (digital) finance, as well as the responses to the BRI in other countries.

Just when the need for global cooperation is at an unprecedented high, nations are turning inwards. In fact, while the pandemic has almost certainly exacerbated the challenges of multilateralism, the root causes lie elsewhere. And one important cause is to be found in the phenomenon of “Weaponized Interdependence”.
