What is the european idea of power in an age of chaos?

What happens when powers no longer agree on the rules, or even on what international order should look like? In his book, Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics in the Rules Fall, Mark Leonard calls this condition "Un-Order", and distinguishes between "architects", who seek to build a stable system, and "artisans", who adapt to changing circumstances.

In his account, China has embraced the artisan's approach, while Europe remains attached to the certainties of the architects.

How to develop its own idea of power in an age of chaos? Mark Leonard and Nathalie Tocci will discuss what Europeans can learn from competing approaches to power, how they can navigate shifting alliances and economic interdependence, and which principles should guide their actions.

The discussion will also consider CORE, The Compact for Open and Resilient Economies, a proposal for closer cooperation among like-minded entities, set out in an IEP Bocconi policy brief co-authored by Nathalie Tocci and Daniel Gros.

Speakers: Mark Leonard Co-founder and Director, European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR); author of Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics in the Rules Fall. Marta Tecci Senior Fellow, IEP Bocconi; co-author, with Daniel Gros, of The Role of Europe as Central Power, which sets out the CORE proposal.

Moderator: Stefano Feltri Communication Advisor, IEP Bocconi
