HOW TO RUN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Parag Khanna, Director, Global Governance Initiative, and Senior Research Fellow, American Strategy Program, New America Foundation
Parag Khanna believes that we are entering a chaotic modern era resembling the Middle Ages, with Asian empires, Western militaries, Middle Eastern sheikhdoms, magnetic city-states, elite clans, religious zealots, tribal hordes, and potent media seething in an ever more unpredictable and dangerous storm. Join The Chicago Council and Parag Khanna for a discussion on the current state of global affairs and how a new, non-traditional coalition of business executives, philanthropists, technocrats, and others can navigate to bring about a more stable and resilient world for future generations.
