About the event
Today’s great power competition unfolds across three interconnected domains—politics, economics, and technology—and that prevailing across all three is essential to securing and sustaining global leadership.
While geography once anchored the boundaries of influence, the 21st century’s contest is no longer tethered to territory in the same way. Ideas, innovation, and the control of critical technologies now rival physical space and terms of trade as decisive factors shaping power and geopolitical risk.
Drawing on historical precedents, contemporary case studies, and a new analytical framework— “open” and “closed” hegemony —"Spheres of Power" shows how states wishing to maintain their own independence or rise to a position of global leadership must adapt to this transformed landscape, balancing stability, justice, and strategic advantage in an era where the competition for influence extends far beyond borders.
