Leaders from major global economies will convene in France this week for the annual G7 summit, facing complex geopolitical challenges.
The gathering represents the first summit since heightened tensions in international conflicts, which have created notable disagreements among member nations regarding recent strategic actions.
Ongoing consequences of these conflicts—including potential disruptions to critical shipping routes and global supply chains—represent significant obstacles for summit participants.
Key discussion topics are anticipated to encompass the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the evolving nature of economic relationships with China.
The central question remains whether the G7 can effectively adapt to these rapidly changing international conditions.
Host: Scott McLean
Participants:
Jacques Reland – Senior research fellow at the Global Policy Institute
Scott Lucas – Professor of US and international Politics at the Clinton Institute, University College Dublin
Einar Tangen – Senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation
