Join the fourth webinar of our Shifting Paradigms Series!

Devastation extends far beyond visible destruction — it disrupts economies, weakens institutions, and reshapes the foundations of governance and development. As global power dynamics shift, so too do the frameworks guiding recovery and reconstruction. This discussion brings together experts to examine how post-conflict reconstruction can foster sustainable and equitable renewal amid changing geopolitical realities. Drawing on historical experience and contemporary challenges, the panel will examine how questions of sovereignty, financing, and global influence are redefining what it means to rebuild in a transforming world order.

The “Shifting Paradigms” series addresses the complex and evolving landscape of international relations, focusing on how global power structures are changing and what that means for stability, security, and cooperation worldwide. The discussions bring together experts in political science, economics, international relations, history, and security studies to present a multidisciplinary perspective on the topic.
