SUMMARY:Without the Development of All Nations\, there Can Be No Lasting Peace for the Planet
DESCRIPTION:A little more after the war in Ukraine\, which in reality had started in 2014\, escalated with the Russian military operation\, it has become very clear that the real issue is not Ukraine.  It is a proxy war between the U.S. Great Britain and NATO\, on the one side\, and Russia on the other — with a conflict with China also looming.  The real issue is that the nations of the Global South are trying to shed the colonial order\, this time for good\, and they have now become the Global Majority.  Driving the war danger is the systemic breakdown of the trans-Atlantic financial system\, with its over $2 quadrillion in unpayable financial assets.  The world urgently needs a new security and development architecture.  This two-day event will bring together leaders from some two dozen nations to discuss how to bring that about.

SUMMARY:The Age of Reason or the Annihilation of Humanity
DESCRIPTION:We are in an epochal change.  The countries of the Global South are now demanding their innate right for development. \nThe old order\, which neither follows rules\, nor is in  order\, is trying to prevent a change in the status quo\, which protects the rights of the billionaires\, but neglects the billions of people who suffer from scarcity. \nThere is now an attempt to establish Global NATO through an interconnected network of military treaties\, the NATO- EU agreement\, the AUKUS (Australia-United Kingdom-United States partnership)\, the UK-Japan “Reciprocal Access Agreement\,” which look more and more like a march towards a global showdown with Russia and China\, whose rise is seen as an existential threat. \nIt should be clear to any sane person: global war will be nuclear and that will be the end of civilization. So\, it is completely insane to plan for it. And to deny the countries of the Global South access to cooperation with the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative)\, which is\, for the first time\, giving hope to the developing sector to overcome poverty and underdevelopment\, is outright evil. \nIt is therefore more urgent than ever to find forces for peace in all countries of the world\, who understand that we need to move to a new paradigm in international relations.    What will this new paradigm look like.  How can we cooperate across national and cultural divisions to bring it about.  This live forum will feature speakers from Europe\, Asia\, Africa\, Central and South America\, and the USA.  A roster of speakers will soon be posted on SchillerInstitute.com.
