"This lecture focuses on why international negotiations on pressing
global issues are increasingly stalling in the face of growing
differences among national interests, strident voices of leading and new
emerging powers, and the sheer complexity involved in coming to
agreement on issues that transcend national boundaries. From world trade
negotiations to financial market reform and climate change, ‘gridlock’
increasingly characterises international negotiations and organisations.
This lecture grapples with the causes and consequences of gridlock
across leading areas of global concern: security, the economy, and the
environment. As things stand, the global order is drifting into a highly
uncertain territory which may well involve cataclysmic moments
affecting the life chances and life expectancy of people across the
world."
