 On November 8, we will once again organize the international Delta Trends Day at the University of Tartu (Estonia), the theme of which this time is “The New Economic World Order”.

The US-China struggle for world leadership has intensified over the past twenty years. The economic engine of this struggle has been the globalisation of the world economy, which has created global value chains. The key question now is how the confrontation between the United States and China in the fight for the role of the hegemon of the world economy will affect the functioning of the world economy. The current one-hegemonic regime can be replaced by two or more hegemonic regimes. On this event we discuss how is the confrontation developing and what are its implications? Estonia’s interests are affected by the position of the European Union in the further division of the world economy. 

 

 

Experts in their field share their ideas and thoughts about what the future economy in the world, in Europe and in Estonia could look like. 

 

Delta Trends Day 2022 seeks answers to the following questions: 

• Is there a change in the world economy from a system of one leading force (hegemony) to one based on two or more hegemonies? 
• Is deglobalisation ahead? Will there be two large camps with their hinterlands and allies? 
• How is the confrontation between the US and China developing? How the Russia-Ukraine war affects China’s ambitions to become a world leader? 
• Opportunities and challenges (incl. technological) in the reconstruction of post-war Ukraine 
• Technological nationalism as a rapidly gaining aspect of importance for economic policy.  
• Will regional value chains replace global value chains? Will it reduce international trade and slow down growth? 
• Will the global rules-based world economy become a regions-based world economy, with each region having its own rules? 
• What could be the role of major international organisations – the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank, the UN – in these changes? 
• What would be the best global balance of power in the future?
