TOPIC

Mind games: An instructive view of international relations and the future of globalisation

Through his deep understanding of geopolitics, Dr Parag Khanna will debate if a world order is even possible, arguing that “Its foundation is no longer the static territory of states but the dense networks within which they and other units’ function.” Whether an investor or executive, the geopolitical landscape is an undeniable investment risk.

BIOGRAPHY

Parag is a global strategy advisor and bestselling author. He is the Founder and CEO of Climate Alpha, an AI-powered analytics platform that forecasts asset values to future-proof global real estate, and Founder and Managing Partner of FutureMap, a data and scenario-based strategic advisory firm.

Parag is the bestselling author of MOVE: Where People are Going for a Better Future, which was preceded by The Future is Asian: Commerce, Conflict & Culture in the 21st Century.

He holds a PhD from the London School of Economics, and Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
